Answer:

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.  

Explanation:

  Let a be the capacity of old tank and b be the capacity of new tank.

 A company added a new oil tank that holds 350 barrels of oil more than its old oil tank.

So we have    b - a  = 350 ----------------------equation 1

Together they hold 3650 barrels of oil

                        a + b = 3650 ----------------------equation 2

equation 1 + equation 2

                       2b = 3650 + 350 = 4000

                          b = 2000 barrels.

Substituting in equation 1

                  2000 - a = 350

                            a = 1650 barrels.

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.

If QRST below is a rectangle, what is the measure of angle T + angle R?
GenaCL600 [577]
I can't see QRST and I'm wondering how far below it's located.

But I do know that ALL of the angles in EVERY rectangle are
right angles ... 90°  each.

So if QRST is really a rectangle, then any two of its angles
add up to  (2 · 90°)  =  180° .

Which of the following is used only in non-Euclidean geometry?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:c

Step-by-step explanation:none of these are good answers as they can all exist in flat Euclidean space. The best answer is c because a great circle exists in spherical (non-flat) geometry . However it’s not really correct to say you could never describe a great circle in Euclidean space and whoever wrote this question (not you, the original author of the question) deserves to bite their tongue on their dinner tonight

Which equation describes this line?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The equation of line with given points is  y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 ) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The points of line are ( 1 , 13 )   and    ( - 2 , 4 )

The point slope intercept equation of line is

y - y_1 = m ( x -  x_1 )

Where m is the slope of line

So , Slope , m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Or, m =  \frac{4 - 13}{ - 2 - 1}

Or, m =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}

∴    m = 3

Now The equation of line is

y - y_1 = m ( x -  x_1 )

Or. y - 13 = 3 ( x -  1 )

Or, y - 13 = 3 x - 3

Or, y = 3 x - 3 + 13

∴   y = 3 x + 10

I.e y - 4 = 3 x + 6

Or, y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 )

Hence The equation of line with given points is  y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 ) . Answer
