Answer:
PT = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since T is the midpoint of PQ, then
PT = TQ , substitute values
4x + 5 = 8x - 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
5 = 4x - 7 ( add 7 to both sides )
12 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
3 = x
Thus
PT = 4x + 5 = 4(3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17
X=number of gallons that she must order.
4 gallons-----------------3 weeks
(7 gallons + x)--------12 weeks
We solve this rule of 3.
(7 gallons +x)3 weeks=4 gallons*12 weeks
21 gallons weeks+3 x weeks=48 gallons weeks
3x weeks=48 gallons weeks - 21 gallons weeks
3x weeks=27 gallons weeks
x=(27 gallons weeks) / 3 weeks=9 gallons.
Solution: she must order 9 gallons more.
