The answer is 68 because if it rose between the times it would mean you minus 7 from 75
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
Answer:
x = -5/3

Hello!
We are told that n and m are parallel.
The angle that measures 105 degrees is supplementary with the alternate interior angle of the angle which measures (3x - 18) degrees. Supplementary angles add to equal 180 degrees, so we can make an equation by first finding the measure of the alternate interior angle.
180 - 105 = 75
The alternate interior angle measures 75 degrees, so we can set that equal to 3x - 18 to solve for x since alternate interior angles are congruent.
75 = 3x - 18
93 = 3x
31 = x
Answer:
x = 31
