Answer: 7 gallons; 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of water in the first container be x.

Since one container holds 2 times as much as the other, the second container will be: = x × 2 = 2x

The total amount of water is 21 gallons. This means:

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 7 gallons

First container = 7 gallons

Second container= 2x = 2×7 = 14 gallons

What is m Help please!

Answer:

  40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity statement tells you that angles W and P have the same measure. The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°, so we have ...

  ∠R +∠W +∠T = 180°

  85° +55° +∠T = 180°

  ∠T = 180° -140°

  ∠T = 40°

Express (16^3)^1/2 <br> in simplest radical form.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

I assume you mean 16^(1/3) i.e. the cube root of 16

I am also assuming you mean the real cube root because, as you may know, every non-zero real number has three cube root - one real and two complex conjugates.

Since 16 = 8 x 2 and 8 = 2³ then (2³ x 2)^1/3 = (2³)^1/3 x 2^1/3 = 2 x 2^1/3

You might check that the cube root of 16 is about 2.52 which is twice the cube root of 2
