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

= (3x + 2)(x + 1) \\  = 3x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1) \\  =  {3x}^{2}  + 3x + 2x + 2 \\  =  {3x}^{2}  + 5x + 2

Find the value of x.<br><br>• 5<br>• 20<br>• 40<br>• 45​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

3rd option: x= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

4x° +20°= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

<em>Bringing</em><em> </em><em>constants</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>:</em>

4x°= 180° -20°

<em>Simplify</em><em>:</em>

4x°= 160°

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>:</em>

x°= 40°

Thus, x=40.

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km.Find
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km

what is the distance that the car can travel on 63 ltr of petrol

22ltr = 259.6km

63ltr=

cross multiply

{63 x 259.6}/22 = 16354.8/22 = 743.4 km

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km, it would require 63 ltr of petrol to travel 743.4km

2. To travel a distance of 2013.2 km

we would need to calculate the amount of fuel

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km

what amount of fuel would it require to travel 2013.2km

22ltr = 259.6km

xltr = 2013.2km

x is the value of petrol to cover 2013.2km

cross multiply

(2013.2 x 22)/259.6

44290.4/259.6 = 170.610169492≈170.6 ltr

A car requires 22 litres of petrol to travel a distance of 259.6 km, it would require 170.6 ltr of petrol to travel 2013.2km

if 1ltr is $1.99

170.6 ltr is (170.6 x 1.99)/1 = $339.494≈$339.5

The price of fuel consumed for 2013.2 km at 1 liter of petrol at $1.99 is $339.5
