Two tanks hold a total of 55 gallons of a toxic solvent. One tank holds 4 gallons more than twice the amount in the other. How m
Serhud [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the volume of the first tank, and y is the volume of the second tank, then:

x + y = 55

x = 2y + 4

Solve the system of equations using either substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

2y + 4 + y = 55

3y + 4 = 55

3y = 51

y = 17

Solve for x using either equation.

x + 17 = 55

x = 38

The first tank holds 38 gallons, and the second tank holds 17 gallons.

What’s the value of X ???!!!!
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So since triangle jkl and wyz are similar angles j and w must equal each other, angles k and y must equal each other, and angles l and z are equal. So to find x just set 4x-13 equal to 71

4x-13=71

add 13 to both sides to cancel the -13 from the left

4x=84

and divide both sides by 4 to cancel the 4 on the left

x=21

Solve the equation n2 − 29 = 260 by using square roots.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Option A, n = ± 17

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Add 29 to both sides</u>

n^2 - 29 = 260

n^2 - 29 + 29 = 260 + 29

n^2 = 289

<u>Step 2:  Square root both sides</u>

\sqrt{n^2} = \sqrt{289}

n = ± 17

Answer:  Option A, n = ± 17
