Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+12=5x-15
3x=27
x=9
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
Just convert all your measurements. 1gallon is 4 quarts. So 9 gallons= 36qt and 6 gallons= 24qt so the question becomes 36qt+1qt+24qt+1qt=62qt or 15.5 gallons.
