Use a^2+b^2=c^2.
so u might have two answer one if u plug 17 and 12 as your a and b and solve for c
second is when you plug 12 as a and 17 as 17 qnd solve for b.
hope this helped
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
We know that GCF stands for Greatest Common Factor and hence we need to apply this in solving the given problem. The solution is shown below:
54x+8154x+81
Combine same terms, we have:
8208X+81
Factoring with the greatest common factor which is 27
304x+3
The answer for the factored expression is 304X + 3.
