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

When rewriting y = 2x + 1 in function notation, what do you replace with f(x)?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

You replace y with f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

- Function is a relation between two sets of numbers, with every element

 in the first set has only one corresponding element in the second set

- The first set is called the domain of the function (input)

- The second set is called the range of the function (output)

- If the first set is set X and the second set is set of Y, then each value

 of x has only one value of y and x is the input and y is the output

- Function notation is the way to write a function f(x) = y, where f(x)

 represents the values of y

∵ y = 2x + 1

∵ f(x) = y

- Replace y by f(x)

∴ f(x) = 2x + 1

* <em>You replace y with f(x)</em>

A lot of in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 6550 square centimeters it's longer base measures 150 centimeters and the sh
inysia [295]
So the formula for the area of a trapezium is
area = (a + b)/2 * h
*a is the short side
* b is the long side
*h is the height
so let's plug in the values we already know: area, long base, short base. Here's how the formula looks now...
6550 = (150 + 85)/2 * h
*so, we need to find 'h'
use algebra to find it.
6550 = (235/2) * h
6550 = 117.5 * h
6550/117.5 = h
h = 55.74 (approx)

What is 45=m(25)+b solving for m
STatiana [176]

Answer:

\frac{45-b}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

given

45 = 25m + b ( isolate the term in m by subtracting b from both sides )

45 - b = 25m ← divide both sides by 25

\frac{45-b}{25} = m
