<span>X+Y=172 OE X=172-Y
X=5Y-8
5Y-8=172-Y
5Y+Y=172+8
6Y=180
Y=180/6

Y=30 ANS
X=172-30
X=142 ANS. FOR THE FIRST NUMBER WHICH IS:

A 450-gallon tank full of water is draining at a rate of 20 gallons per minute.
Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A function show the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable (input) does not depend on other variables while the dependent variable (output) depend on other variables.

In this question, amount of water in tank is dependent variable and the time taken is the independent variable. Let y represent amount of water in tank and x represent the time it has been draining. Therefore:

a) This can be represented by the equation:

y = 450 -  20x

At 7 minutes (x = 7)

y = 450 - 20(7)

y = 310 gallons

b) For 200 gallons (y = 200), the time taken is:

200 = 450 - 20x

200 - 450 = -20x

-20x = -250

x = -250/-20

x = 12.5 minutes

c) y = 450 - 20x

d) The graph was plotted using geogebra onling graphing calculator.

e) When the tank is empty, y = 0, hence

0 = 450 - 20x

20x = 450

x = 450 / 20

x = 22.5 minutes

The length of Joseph’s rectangular poster is two times it’s width. If the perimeter is 24 inches, what is the area of the poster
leonid [27]
Let's assign the width to a variable, with that variable being x. the length is two times the width, so it would be 2x. the perimeter of a rectangle is length + length + width + width, so you would add 2x + 2x + x + x = 24 inches. combine like terms (x) to get 6x = 24. divide both sides by 6 to get x = 4. so the width (x) is 4, and the length (2x) is 8. the area of a rectangle is length times width, so multiply 4 * 8. that would get you 32 inches^2.

On average, Tanner has noticed that 22 trains pass by his house daily (24 hours) on the nearby train tracks. What is the probabi
blondinia [14]

Answer:

0.11069

Step-by-step explanation:

We will assume that the trains pass by his house following a uniform distribution with values between 0 and 24. The probability of a train passing on a 9-hour time period is 9/24 = 3/8 = 0.375. Lets call Y the amount of trains passing by his house during that 9-hour period. Y follows a Binomail distribution with parameters 22 and 0.375.

P(Y ≤ 5) = P(Y = 0) + P(Y=1) + P(Y=2) + P(Y=3) + P(Y=4) + P(Y=5) =

{22 \choose 0} * 0.375^0*(1-0.375)^{22} + {22 \choose 1}*0.375^1*(1-0.375)^{21} +\\\\{22 \choose 2} * 0.375^2*(1-0.375)^{20} + {22 \choose 3}*0.375^3*(1-0.375)^{19}  + \\{22 \choose 4} * 0.375^4*(1-0.375)^{18} + {22 \choose 5}*0.375^5*(1-0.375)^{17} = 0.11069

I hope that works for you!

Solve for x. The polygons in each pair are similar.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x if the polygons in each pair are similar.

As they are similar, the ratio of their sides are equal.

The sides of first polygon are 6,12 and 4.8. On the other hand, the sides of second polygon are (2x-9) and 18.

So,

\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{12}{18}\\\\\dfrac{6}{2x-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2x-9}=\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\x=9

So, the value of x  is equal to 9.
