Answer:
10.8 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
First change everything to inches:
2.75 ft = 33 in
1.5 ft = 18 in
Volume of tank = lwh = (33)(18)(7) = 4158 in³
The tank is 40% full, so only 60% is need to fill it. To find 60%, multiply 4158 by 0.6 = 2494.8 in³
Now find out how much 2494.8 in³ is in gallons:
231 in³ = 1 gallon
1 in³ = 1/231 gallons
2494.8 = (1/231)(2494.8) gallons = 10.8 gallons
First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now
2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4
At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real.
Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result.
For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196
No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.
So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to
x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values

Answer:
n = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
4n + 12 = 4
Subtract 12 from both sides.
4n = -8
Divide both sides by 4.
n = -2
5x – 1 = 3x – 15
Subtraction Property of Equality (Subtract 3x from both sides)
2x - 1 = -15
Addition Property of Equality (Add 1 to both sides)
2x = - 14
Division Property of Equality (Divide both sides by 2)
x = -7
