Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:

V - 200.

"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:

3/7(V)

Therefore, the equation is

V - 200 = 3/7(V)

Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:

7(V - 200) = 3V and

7V - 1400 = 3V so

-1400 = -4V so

V = 350 gallons

That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.

For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:

V - 200 = 1/2(V)

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you

2(V - 200) = V and

2V - 400 = V so

-400 = -V so

V = 400

5x−6=3x+10 PLSPLS HELP
vichka [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x−6=3x+10

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x−6−3x=3x+10−3x

2x−6=10

Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.

2x−6+6=10+6

2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 16/ 2

x=8

A quadratic rule for a particular parabola is of the form y = ax^2 + bx. The parabola passes through with the coordinates (-1, 4
Scilla [17]

Answer:

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

4 = a - b

0 = a(6)² + b(6)

36a + 6b = 0

b = -6a

4 = a - (-6a)

7a = 4

a = 4/7

b = -24/7

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)
