Answer:

48 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

First container = x

Second container has twice as much oil.

Second container = 2x

13 liters of oil was used from first container.

x - 13

7 liters of oil was used from the second container.

2x - 7

Second container has 3 times more oil than the first one.

2x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3x - 39

2x = 32

x = 16

First container = 16 liters

second container = 16 x 2 = 32 liters

Total = 16 + 32 = 48 liters

If EF=9x+14, FG=56, and EG=250, find the value of x.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Value of x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: EF = 9x+14 units , FG = 56 units and EG = 250 units.

Segment Addition Postulates states the following for 3 points that are collinear.

i.e, Let three points A, B and C are collinear and B is between A and C.

i,e AC = AB + BC

By Segment addition postulates; solve for x;

EG = EF + FG

Substitute the given values we get;

250 = 9x + 14 + 56

or

250 = 9x + 70

Subtract 70 on both sides we get;

250 -70 = 9x + 70 -70

Simplify:

180 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9 we get;

\frac{180}{9} = \frac{9x}{9}

Simplify:

x = 20

Therefore, the value of x =20
