The tank can hold 31.8 gallons of water.
To find the area of his exclusion zone you would need to understand that a triangle with dimensions of 3, 4, and 5 represent a right triangle.
This means the exclusion zone would be applied to the base and the height of the triangular space.
You would add 2 km to the 3 km, and 2 km to the 4 km to create a new height of 5 km and a new base of 6 km.
Please see the attached picture to understand this.
You will find the area of the total space created by the new triangle and subtract the space represented by the original triangle to find the area of the exclusion zone.
(1/2 x 6 x 5) - (1/2 x 4 x 3)
15 km² -6 km² equals 9 km².
The exclusion space is 9 km².
To solve these problems, we must remember the distributive property. This property states that a coefficient being multiplied by a polynomial in parentheses is equal to the sum of the coefficient times each of the separate terms. Using this knowledge, let's begin with number 21:
-(4x + 17) + 3(7-x)
To begin, we should distribute the negative sign through the first set of parentheses and the coefficient of positive 3 through the second set of parentheses.
-4x - 17 + 21 - 3x
Next, we must combine like terms, or add/subtract the constants terms and the variable terms in order to create a more concise expression.
-7x + 4 (your answer)
Now, we can move on to question 22 and solve it in a similar manner:
7(2n-8) - 4(12 - 8n)
Again, we will distribute the coefficients through the parentheses. However, keep in mind that the coefficient in front of the second set of parentheses is actually a NEGATIVE 4, so we must distribute the negative as well.
14n - 56 - 48 + 32n
Next, we will combine like terms (add the n terms together and subtract the constant terms).
46n - 104
Now, we can solve problem 23:
8 + 2(5f - 3)
We will again distribute through the parentheses:
8 + 10f - 6
Combine like terms after that:
10f + 2
Therefore, your answers for the three problems are as follows:
21) -7x + 4
22) 46n - 104
23) 10f + 2
Hope this helps!
