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.

A cuboid with a volume of 924cm^3 has dimensions 4cm, (x+1)cm and (x+11). Show clearly that x^2+12x-220=0 solve the equation by
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

x^2+12x-220=0 -- Proved

x = 10\ \ \ x = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 924cm^3

Dimension: 4cm; (x+1)cm; (x+11)cm

Required

Show that x^2+12x-220=0

The volume is calculated as:

4 * (x + 1) * (x + 11) = 924

Open the brackets

(4x + 4) * (x + 11) = 924

4x^2 + 44x + 4x + 44 = 924

4x^2 + 48x+ 44 = 924

Collect Like Terms

4x^2 + 48x+ 44 - 924=0

4x^2 + 48x -880=0

Divide through by 4

\frac{4x^2}{4} + \frac{48x}{4} -\frac{880}{4}=0

x^2+12x-220=0

Solving further:

Expand the expression

x^2 + 22x - 10x - 220 = 0

Factorize:

x(x + 22) - 10(x + 22) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 22) = 0

Split:

x - 10 = 0;\ \ \ x + 22 = 0

x = 10\ \ \ x = -22
