Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x
Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week
You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.
You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.
Add 9x to both sides
944 - 5x + 9x = 1180
944 + 4x = 1180
Subtract 944 from both sides.
4x = 1180 - 944
4x = 236
Divide by 4
x = 236/4
x = 59 weeks
The answer is 24
subtract 156 from 180
108-156=24
The answer is the second one
It is answer is choice d in my opinion
Question 10: P=28cm
if l=8 and w=6
Then (8+6)=14
2(14) so 14x2 = 28
So therefore P=28cm
