Answer: 18 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons that the container can hold <em>x.</em>

<em> </em>Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x

Now, you must solve for x, as you can see below. Therefore, you obtain the following result:

\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{4}{9}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{9}x\\\\4*9=2x\\\\36=2x\\\\x=18\ gallons

Solve the equation<br> 0.09w+1.8
ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

0.09w + 1.8 = 0

0.09w = 0 - 1.8

0.09w = - 1.8

0.09w ÷ 0.09 = - 1.8/ 0.09

w = - 20

A line segment has endpoints (-5, 10) and (a,b) . If the midpoint of the segment is (13, -2), what is the absolute difference be
AlexFokin [52]
If the line segment point is D(-5, 10) and E(a,b) and the  midpoint of the segment is F(13, -2) that mean 
DE= 2*DF

You can directly find the distance of AC 
Xdf= Xf-Xd= 13 - (-5)= 18
Ydf= Yf - Yd= -2 - 10= -12

Then add the distance of AB( which is 2*AC) to point D
Xe= a = Xd + 2*Xdf 
a= -5 +2*18= 31

Ye= b = Yd + 2Yf
b= 10+ 2*-12= -14

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point.<br><br> (1,3); y=2x+6
andrew11 [14]
So, you need to know that the slope stays where it is, and that the 6 is not part of the final answer, so get rid of it.
y=2x+b
Now, submit x in for x, and y in for y.
3=2(1)+b
3=2+b
1=b

Put this in for the equation missing the b,
y=2x+1
Now check it; if you put 1 in for x, does y=3?

For her parents' anniversary party, Ellie is considering using one of two venues. A hotel in
kompoz [17]

The hotel is $250 plus $25 per person so the equation would be

y= 25x + 250

(Y is the total cost and x is the number of people)

the restaurant is $100 plus $40 per person so the equation would be

y = 40x + 100

What we want to know is which x value would make the y values equal to each other. So you can just replace the "y" in one equation with the other equation:

25x + 250 = 40x + 100

and then solve...

1. subtract 100 from both sides

    25x + 150 = 40x

2. subtract 25x from both sides

    150 = 15 x

3. divide both sides by 15

    10 = x

you can check by plugging 10 into the original equations

25(10) + 250

250 + 250 = 500

and

40(10) + 100

400 + 100 = 500

they both cost $500 when you invite 10 people
