Answer: The tank holds 18 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number number of gallons of gasoline that the tank of Lydia's car hold.

Lydia gas tank was 3/4 full when she left on a trip. It means that the amount of gasoline in the tank was 3x/4 gallons.

She used 8 gallons of gasoline during her trip. The amount that would be left is

3x/4 - 8

Now, 5.5 gallons of gasoline remain in the gas tank. It means that

3x/4 - 8 = 5.5

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes

3x - 32 = 22

3x = 22 + 32

3x = 54

x = 54/3

x = 18

Jordans have a rectangular garden. want to build a diagonal pathway across he garden. the length of pathway is 90 ft. width of g
blondinia [14]
So we see the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
diagonal=c
width=a or b, pick one
width=a
legnth=b
width is 5 times more than 2 times legnth of garden
w=5(2legnth)
this doesn't make sense since the legnth is normally longer than the width, but we'll stick with that
w=5(2l)
w=10l
a=10b
(10b)^2+b^2=90^2
100b^2+b^2=8100
101b^2=8100
divide by 101
b^2=80.198 aprox 80.2
square root
8.95533
legnth of garden =8.96
to find width subsitue
w=10l
w=89.56

legnth=8.96
width=89.56
