Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the volume of the first tank, and y is the volume of the second tank, then:

x + y = 55

x = 2y + 4

Solve the system of equations using either substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

2y + 4 + y = 55

3y + 4 = 55

3y = 51

y = 17

Solve for x using either equation.

x + 17 = 55

x = 38

The first tank holds 38 gallons, and the second tank holds 17 gallons.

Answer: the larger tank holds 38 gallons and the smaller tank holds 17 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the toxic solvent that the larger tank holds.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the toxic solvent that the smaller tank holds.

The two tanks hold a total of 55 gallons of a toxic solvent. This means that

x + y = 55

One tank holds 4 gallons more than twice the amount in the other. This is expressed as

x = 2y + 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 55 - y into equation 1, it becomes

55 - y = 2y + 4

2y + y = 55 - 4

3y = 51

y = 51/3

y = 17

x = 55 - y = 55 - 17

x = 38

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² + x - 3

x = - 3

y = ( - 3 )² + ( - 3 ) - 3 = 3

( - 3 , <em>3</em> )

x = 0 ⇒ y = - 3

( 0 , <em>- 3</em> )

x = 1

y = ( 1 )² + ( 1 ) - 3 = - 1  

( 1 , <em>- 1 </em>)

<em>(b).</em> Coordinate x of the vertex of quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c is

- \frac{b}{2a}

x = - \frac{1}{2(1)} = - \frac{1}{2} = - 0.5

y = ( - 0.5 )² + ( - 0.5 ) - 3 = - 3.25 = - 3\frac{1}{4}

( - \frac{1}{2} , - 3\frac{1}{4} )

Triangle 6: 74

Triangle 7: 29

Triangle 8: 61

Triangle 9: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle has a total degree angle of 180 degrees. Add the two sides that  are known and subtract the sum from 180 degrees to find out the last angle.

I don't get it plz help

Just use the order of operations. PEMDAS, parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

In the first problem 2 + 6*3^2, there are no parentheses, so next would be exponents.
There is an exponent so you do that first.
3^2 = 9

Now we have 2 + 6*9
Multiplication is next and it is in the problem, so we do 6*9 = 54
So now we have 2 + 54 which equals 56.

One angle is 25° bigger than another angle. the two angles are supplementary. what is the measure of the two angles
Rama09 [41]
1st angle  - x⁰
2nd angle - (x+25)⁰
The angles are supplementary,
so
x+x+25=180
2x=155
x=77.5⁰ -1st angle

77.5+25=102.5⁰ - 2nd angle
