Answer:

x = 26; l = 137; m = 137

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, that means the measurements are too. As such, equal the two expressions together

5x + 7 = 8x - 71

add 71 to both sides

5x + 7 + 71 = 8x - 71 + 71

-71 and +71 cancel each other out

5x + 78 = 8x

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 78 = 8x - 5x

5x - 5x cancels each other out

78 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3x ÷ 3 = 1x which can also be written as just x

78 ÷ 3 = x

26 = x

plug in this x value into both expressions to find variables l and m

l:

5(26) + 7

130 + 7

137

m:

8(26) - 71

208 - 71

137

Jorge finish 1/4 of a level of his computer game in 1/3 of the air at this rate how many hours will it take to complete one leve
aliya0001 [1]
To solve this, we'd need an answer with a whole level, which means we'll multiply everything by 4. This would mean that 1/3 is also multiplied by 4, making 4/3. Which means a whole level is made in 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours.

Tyler used 114 gallons of paint to paint 47 of a fence. How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: It will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Paint required to paint \dfrac47of fence = 114 gallons

Then , paint required to paint whole fence = 114\div\dfrac47

i.e. paint required to paint whole fence = 114\times\dfrac{7}{4}

i.e.  Paint required to paint whole fence= 199.5 gallons

Hence, it will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.
