Well...this is a proportion problwm. for every 16 cups I have 1 gallon, so I can write that as:

16 cups
-----------
1 gallon

this value will be proportional to 1/4 a gallon equal "so many" cups. let's equal the unknown about of cups to x.

16 cups______ x cups
-----------.... = ..... ----------
1 gallon _____ 1/4 gallons

I can cross multiply to find x.

1 gallon • x cups = 16 cups • 1/4 gallons

16 times 1/4 is the same as 16/4, which equals 4.

1 gallon • x cups = 4 cups gallons

divide both sides by gallons

x cups = 4 cups

so! 1/4 of a gallon equals 4 cups.

if the measure of &lt;BEC is (2x+3)° and x=30, which expression could represent the measure of &lt;AED?​
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The answer is 3x-27

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles are vertical from each other it means they are congruent. 2x+30 is 63, you plug in the x, 2(30)+30. You do that to the second one and also get 63, 3(30)-27. Therefore 3x-21 is the answer.
