Answer:  2x + 15 = 243

                          x = $114

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Gas Tank: $15

Matthew: x

Devin: x

Gas Tank + Matthew + Devin = Total

       15      +       x        +     x    =  243

                                         2x   =  228

                                           x   =   114

A 20-gallon salt-water solution contains 15% pure salt. How much pure water should be added to it to produce a 10% solution?
Elanso [62]

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

Election day is less than a month away, and political analysts are focused on the races for two statewide political offices. Acc
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

0.1961

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two probabilities are independent of each other, we can simply multiply them.

The probability that a voter will support the Democratic candidate for governor is 0.53.

The probability that a voter will support the Democratic candidate for attorney general is 0.37.

This makes the probability that a voter supports both Democratic candidates 0.53(0.37) = 0.1961.

Three of exterior angle of n-sided polygon are 50° each two of it's interior angle are 127° and 135° and the remaining interior
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The value of n is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that three of the exterior angle of the n-sided polygon are 50° each two of its interior angle are 127° and 135° and the remaining interior angle are 173 each.

As we know that the sum of all exterior angles of the polygon is 360°. Also, the number of remaining interior angles will be (n - 5).

And, the exterior angle = 180° - the interior angle.

So, according to the question;

(3 \times 50) + (180-127) + (180 - 135) + (n - 5)\times (180-173) =360

150 + 53 + 45 + 7(n - 5) = 360

248 + 7n - 35 = 360

213 + 7n = 360

7n = 360 - 213

7n = 147

n = \frac{147}{7}

n = 21

Hence, the value of n is 21 and this is a 21-sided polygon.
