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

Solve the system by elimination.(show your work)
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 1 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation by elimination:

Solve the following system:

{-2 x + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

-2 x - y + z = -3 | (equation 2)

2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x - 3 y - 2 z = -3 | (equation 2)

2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 2)

2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 | (equation 3)

Add equation 1 to equation 3:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 2)

0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 2 with equation 3:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)

0 x+3 y + 2 z = 3 | (equation 3)

Subtract 3/5 × (equation 2) from equation 3:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y - (8 z)/5 = 0 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5/8:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y - z = 0 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by -1:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+5 y + 6 z = 5 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Subtract 6 × (equation 3) from equation 2:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+5 y+0 z = 5 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by 5:

{-(2 x) + 2 y + 3 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(2 x) + 0 y+3 z = -2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Subtract 3 × (equation 3) from equation 1:

{-(2 x)+0 y+0 z = -2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by -2:

{x+0 y+0 z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 0 | (equation 3)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 1 , y = 1 , z = 0
