Answer: 14 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

25(x + 3) = 424

where x is the number of gallon of gasoline needed to purchase.

Solution.

25(x + 3) = 424

first we open the bracket

25x + 75 = 424

collect like terms

25x = 424 – 75

25x = 349

divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 349/25

x = 13.96

x = 14

mathew needs to get 14 gallons of gasoline.

Two sides and an angle are given. determine whether the given information results in one triangle, no triangle, three triangles,

Crazy boy [7]

We are given 2 sides 18.7, 16.1 and a NON-included angle.
We have to calculate the altitude of the triangle.
altitude = 18.7 * sine (35)
altitude = 18.7 * 0.57358
altitude = 10.725946 
In this case, side c is greater than the altitude and is less than side a so 2 two triangles will be formed.
