Answer: 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons of gas Abdul's tank can hold <em>x</em>.

Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x

Therefore, when you solve for x, you obtain the following result:

\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x\\\\\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{7}{10}x=-7\\\\-\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\\\-x=(-7)(2)\\x=14

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

C. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I almost thought this was going to be Pythagorean Theorem, but no.

Use Cosine Law:

cos θ =  \frac{10^2 + 21^2 - 17^2}{2(10)(21)}

θ = cos−1(0.6)

θ = 53.130...

Now use the SOHCAHTOA ratio for sine (\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}) to find x now that you have one angle:

sin θ = \frac{x}{10}

x = 10sinθ (θ isn't needed to be written out as it is shown in the equation above)

x = 8

What is 3/4 + 1/2 and what is 1/3 + 11/48 in simplest form and a mixed number <br>​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1) 5/4 or 1 1/4

2) 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4+1/2: you multiply 1/2 by 2 to get a common denominator then get 2/4, 3+2=5, 5/4 or 1 1/4

1/3+11/48: you multiply 1/3 by 16 to get common denominator & get 16/48, 16+11= 27/48, divide by 3 & get simplest form of 9/16

olganol [36]
Y=1.5 at the midpoint of GH. To do this you add the y values of the endpoints together and divide by two ----> 5-2= 3 ----> 3/2= 1.5

Hope this helps you !!
