Answer:

1 bin holds 3/8 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of a gallon=2/3 of a bin.

x gallon=1 bin

We want to find the value of "x" in this situation.

To make 2/3 equal 1, we have to multiply by 3/2, which uses the inverse property. Since we used the inverse property on the bin, we then have to multiply the gallon, 1/4, by 3/2 because we multiplied the bin by 3/2. 1/4 times 3/2 is 3/8 and 2/3 times 3/2 is 6/6 or 1. so now 3/8 gall=1 bin.  

Therefore, one bin holds 3/8 gallon water.

(2/3)x=1/4
x= 3/8

x is the amount of water to fill the whole bin
when 2/3 of the bin is full, you have 1/4
so (2/3) of x is 1/4. then i just solved

hope that helped!

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9,-4) and (-9,4).
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -9 would be the slope because when you see the two points for each coordinate there is no x value but we do see a straight line and we see that there is no y-intercept. So, x= -9 would be the answer. Hope this helps.

How many solutions exist for the given equation?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2

12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2

12x + 1 = 12x + 1

Both sides are equal for all x, so infinite solutions
