Let's convert the fractions to the same denominator

\frac{4}{5} =  \frac{24}{30}
\frac{1}{6} =  \frac{5}{30}

this means that when 190 liters, or 19/30 of the water was drawn off, there was 1/6 left.

let's create an equation and solve for x. we know that 190 is equal to 19/30 of the the tank. what about 1/30? we nee to divide each side by 19 to find out.

190/10 would be 19. this means that 1/30 of the tank is 19 liters.

to find the full tank, or 30/30 of the tank, multiply 19 by by 30, to get 570.

the full capacity of the tank is 570 liters

hope this helped!

Write down in terms of n, an expression for the nth term
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a_{n} = - 7n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

- 15 - (- 8) = - 22 - (- 15) = - 29 - (- 22) = - 36 - (- 29) = - 7

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 8 and d = - 7 , then

a_{n} = - 8 - 7(n - 1) = - 8 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 1

Factor yz + 6 + y +6z.<br> z + 1)(y + 6)<br> (z - 1)(y + 6)<br> (z + 6)(y - 1)
Sedbober [7]
The answer is the first one: (z+1)(y+6).

Explanation:

yz + 6 + y + 6z

= yz + y + 6 + 6z

= y(z+1) + 6(1+z)

= (z+1)(y+6)

For (z+1), you can also write (1+z), it doesn’t matter.

Hope it helps!

You are given the dollar value of a product in 2015 and the rate at which the value of the product is expected to change during
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

V = $3.50t + $90.5....

Step-by-step explanation:

V(t) is a function of t that expresses the value in year 2000+t.  

We know that the increase is $3.50 times t.

So,

V(t) = $3.50t + c  

where c is the constant.

V(15) =  $3.50 (15) + c = $143     [t=15 as mentioned in the question]

and therefore  

c = $143 - $3.50 (15)

c= $143 - $52.50

c= $90.5  

Now we got the value of c. We can write the equation as  

V = $3.50t + $90.5....

jada goes to get her hair done the cost for a haircut and blowout is 65.42 she leaves a 25% tip for the stylist what is the tota
Art [367]

Answer:

The total cost is $81.78

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets calculate the tip

tip = cost * percent of tip

tip = 65.42*.25

tip = 16.355

Which rounds to 16.36  since we are working with money and round to the nearest cent

total cost = cost of cut and blowout + tip

                = 65.42 +16.36

                     =81.78

Whats the solution of <br> y = x +2 <br> 2x - 5y = 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

x = -4, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute for y

2x - 5(x + 2) = 2

distribute -5

2x -5x - 10 = 2

solve

-3x - 10 = 2

add 10 on both sides

-3x = 12

divide by -3

x = -4

now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2

y = -4 + 2

y = -2
