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

Ken went to the store for his mother. He spent $2.37 on groceries. In addition, his mother said he could spend $0.35 on candy. W
Sladkaya [172]

Ken spent $2.37 on groceries and $0.35 on candy, and paid for them with a 5 dollar bill.

To find how much money Ken spent, we add up how much he spent on groceries and candy

Total amount spent = 2.37+0.35= $2.72

Since he paid with a 5 dollar bill, we need to subtract it from how much he spent to find the change

Change = 5 - 2.72 = $2.28

Ken got $2.28 in change.

To fill the boxes, it would be

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 1/9 pi radians
marissa [1.9K]

Complete question:

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 1/9 pi radians

what is the area of the sector?

Answer:

The area of the sector = \frac{\pi}{2} square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the sector of a circle, let's use the formula:

A = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta

Where, A = area

r = radius = 3

\theta = \frac{1}{9}\pi

Substituting values in the formula, we have:

A = \frac{1}{2}*3^2* \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = \frac{1}{2}*9* \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = 4.5 * \frac{1}{9}\pi

A = \frac{\pi}{2}

The area of the sector = \frac{\pi}{2} square units

What is the equation of the line with the same slope as the equation x-4y=3 and the y-intercept(0,-8)?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

y = 1/4x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

x-4y =3

Subtract x from each side

x-4y -x = -x+3

-4y = -x+3

Divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -x/-4 +3/-4

y = 1/4 x -3/4

This is in the form y= mx+b where the slope is m and the y intercept is b

The slope is 1/4

We want the same slope

y = 1/4x +b

we know the y intercept is -8

y = 1/4x -8
