<span>A water tank is 1/8 full. The tank is 3/4 full when 42 gallons are added to the tank. How much water was originally in the tank? (I rewrote it, your wording was messed up)

3/4 = 6/8 
1/8 + 6/8 = 7/8 = 42 gallons
42 divided by 8 = 5 1/4

So, the answer is 5 1/4. The tank originally 5.25 gallons of water.</span>

In Amy’s backyard, there are also chickens and rabbits. There are 5 more chickens than rabbits. The total number of legs is 130.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of chickens

y ----> the number of rabbits

Remember that

1 chicken has two legs

1 rabbit has four legs

so

2x+4y=130 -------> equation A

x=y+5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(y+5)+4y=130

2y+10+4y=130

6y=120

y=20 rabbits

Find the value of x

x=y+5

x=20+5=25 chickens

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x
lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0

A triangle has a perimeter of 31. The longest side is equal to 12. The difference of the other two is 3. What is length of the s
xenn [34]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.

let the other 2 sides be x and x - 3 , then

12 + x + x - 3 = 31

2x + 9 = 31 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 11 and x - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8

The 3 sides are 12, 11, 8

with shortest side 8
