Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.

1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.

2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.

We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.

3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.

4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.

Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.

6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.

7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.

8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.

(4x-1) /2=x+7<br>4x-1 all over 2 = x +7​
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x-1}{2} = x + 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

4x - 1 = 2(x + 7) ← distribute

4x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

2x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{15}{2}

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (−7,5) and (-7,-8).
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope using

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -8 - 5)/( -7 - -7)

   = (-8-5)/(-7+7)

   = -13/0

This means the slope is undefined and the line is vertical

Vertical lines are in the form

x= constant and the constant is the x value of the points

x = -7
