Literal equations, simply put, are equations containing two or more variables. Your goal is to solve for just one variable with respect to others. If you know how to solve regular equations, then I guarantee you that solving literal equations will be a breeze.

The "heart" of literal equation is to isolate or keep by itself a certain variable on one side of the equation (either left or right) and the rest on the opposite side.

Alex Ar [27]
Answer:

7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.

Explanation:

Let

q = quarts of olive oil remain

<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.

22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used

<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>

Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.

<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>

<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>

<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>

Two angles in a triangle measure (2.3x+25)° and (5.8x+11)°. what is the value of x if the two angles are congruent to one anothe
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer is D. x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are congruent so

2.3x +25 = 5.8x + 11

2.3x - 5.8x = 11 - 25

-3.5x = -14

x = 14/3.5

x = 4.
