So lets solve this!

Quarts of water 1st container holds= 17/8

Quarts of water 2nd container holds= 5 3/4

Quarts of water does the second container holds than the first container=?

First of all we need to change 5 3/4 into an improper fraction

5 3/4= 23/4

Secondly, we need to find the LCM of 17/8 and 23/4

LCM:

17/8= 51/24

23/4= 138/24

So now we have got both of the LCM's 

Quarts of second container holds the first container= 23/4 - 138/24=87/24

Your answer is 87/24

Hope this Helps!

pentagon [3]
Answer:

a)
{x}^{2}  + 2x +  {y}^{2}  + 6y = 0
{x}^{2}  + 2x + 1 +  {y}^{2}  + 6y + 9 = 10
{(x + 1)}^{2}  +  {(y + 3)}^{2}  = 10

Complete the equations of the line through (-9,7) and (-6,-3)
lbvjy [14]
In point slope form, the equation is y-7=(-10/3)(x+9).  In slope-intercept form, it is y=(-10/3)x-23.

First find the slope of the line.  The formula for slope is
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using our points, we have 
m=(-3-7)/(-6--9) = -10/3

Plug this into point slope form:
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-7=(-10/3)(x--9)
y-7=(-10/3)(x+9)

Using the distributive property:
y-7=(-10/3)*x+(-10/3)*9
y-7=(-10/3)x-90/3
y-7=(-10/3)x-30

Add 7 to both sides:
y=(-10/3)x-23

Solve for y: 2(3y + 5) = 3(5y + 3).<br> The solution is y =<br> The solution is
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(3y + 5) = 3(5y + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

6y + 10 = 15y + 9 ( subtract 6y from both sides )

10 = 9y + 9 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

1 = 9y ( divide both sides by 9 )

\frac{1}{9} = y

Need help very bad :((
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, I can't think of a single exception to this, but when you rotate a figure, the two figures are congruent If all you do is rotate it.

2y/2 = 5/2                Divide both sides by 2

y = 5/2

y = 2.5

2x = 67 degrees    Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 67/2            x = 33.5

3w + 3 =12             Subtract 3 from both sides

3w + 3 -3 = 12-3    Combine

3w = 9                   Divide by 3

w = 9/3

w = 3
