Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x
Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week
You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.
You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.
Add 9x to both sides
944 - 5x + 9x = 1180
944 + 4x = 1180
Subtract 944 from both sides.
4x = 1180 - 944
4x = 236
Divide by 4
x = 236/4
x = 59 weeks
Answer:
r = 3072. A 4 is multiplied times each term to arrive at the next term. OR ... divide a2 by a1 to find the common ratio of 3072. :)

Answer:
y=54/7
Step-by-step explanation:
slope m = - 2 → B
calculate m using the ' gradient formula '
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
choosing 2 'clear ' coordinates from the graph of the line
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, - 5
) =
= - 2
m =
