<span>A solid that has faces which consist of two squares and four congruent rectangles is called a rectangular prism. It </span><span>has six faces that are rectangles. It has the same cross-section along a length, which makes it a </span>prism<span>. It is also a "cuboid". Hope this answers the question.</span>
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
An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides
assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent
ok, solve initial
x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8
-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2
sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3
x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)
if we test it in other one
2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep
2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep
solution is (3,-2)
