Answer:

x = -15 thus c: is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

10 = (-2 x)/3

10 = (-2 x)/3 is equivalent to (-2 x)/3 = 10:

(-2 x)/3 = 10

Multiply both sides of (-2 x)/3 = 10 by -3/2:

(-3 (-2) x)/(2×3) = (-3)/2×10

(-3)/2×(-2)/3 = (-3 (-2))/(2×3):

(-3 (-2))/(2×3) x = (-3)/2×10

(-3)/2×10 = (-3×10)/2:

(-3 (-2) x)/(2×3) = (-3×10)/2

(-3)/3 = (3 (-1))/3 = -1:

(-2-1 x)/2 = (-3×10)/2

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 x = (-3×10)/2

(-1)^2 = 1:

x = (-3×10)/2

10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:

x = -35

-3×5 = -15:

Answer: x = -15

There are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, and there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. For each question, explain or show reasoning.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

There are 11,355 milliliters in 3 gallons, and 946.25 milliliters in 1 quart.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, multiply each side by 3 because you want the product to equal 3 gallons.3,785 times 3 is equal to 11,355, and 1 times 3 is 3. So, 3 gallons are equal to 11,355 milliliters. If there are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, and there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, that means that there are 3,785 milliliters in 4 quarts. Now, you want to find the amount of milliliters in 1 quart so you should divide both the 3,785 and the 4 by 4. So, there are 946.25 milliliters in 1 quart.
