The answer is <span>b.12
</span>
According to the Pythagorean theorem the square of the hypotenuse (c) is the sum of the squares of the legs (a and b):
 c² = a² + b²

We have:
a = 3x
b = 15
c = 3x + 3

Now, let's replace these parameters:
c² = a² + b²
(3x + 3)² = (3x)² + 15²
(3x)² + 2 * 3x * 3 + 3² = 9x² + 225
9x² + 18x + 9 = 9x² + 225

Rearrange:
9x² - 9x² + 18x = 225 - 9
18x = 216
x = 216 / 18 = 12

Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. How many gallons can Joe's tank hold?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.
