Answer:

There were 35 gallons of gasoline and 500 gallons of kerosene.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Write data for equation 1</u>

<em>Let gallons of kerosene be x</em>

<em>Let gallons of gasoline be y</em>

<em>Total capacity of truck is 4000</em>

<u>Step 2: Form equation 1</u>

x + y = 4000

<u>Step 3: Write data for equation 2</u>

<em>Profit of total gallons of kerosene is 0.12x</em>

<em>Profit of total gallons of gasoline is 16y</em>

<em>Total profit is $620</em>

<u>Step 4: Form equation 2</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

<u>Step 5: Find x in terms of y from equation 1</u>

x + y = 4000

x = 4000 - y

<u>Step 6: Substitute value of x in equation 2</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

0.12 (4000 - y) + 16y = 620

480 - 12y + 16y = 620

4y = 620 - 480

y = 140/4

y = 35

<u>Step 7: Substitute value of y in equation 1 to find x</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

0.12x + 16 ( 35 ) = 620

0.12x = 60

x = 500

There were 35 gallons of gasoline and 500 gallons of kerosene.

17. Find m2 USW if m_ USW = 7x - 34 and m2 TSR = 4x + 29.​
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached. From the diagram, we can see that;

<USW = <TSR (vertically opposite angles)

Given

<USW = 7x-34

<TSR = 4x+29

Equate

7x-34 = 4x+29

7x-4x = 29+34

3x = 63

x = 63/3

x = 21°

Find <USW

<USW =7x-34

<USW =7(21)-34

<USW = 147-34

<USW = 113°

Hence the measure of <USW is 113°

devlian [24]

Answer:

There are 91 dimes in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

5n+10d= 1455

n+d = 200

n=200-d

5(200-d) + 10d=1455

1000-5d+10d=1455

1000+5d=1455

5d=455

d=91

91 dimes

Given circle Q with a measure of SR=120° and a radius of 9 feet, as shown below.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The arc length of the entire circle would be 2*PI*9

We need to know the arc length of 1/3 of the circle so we calculate

arc length = (2 * PI * 9) / 3

arc length = 2 * PI * 3

arc length = 6 * PI

arc length = 18.8495559215
