Answer:6000


Step-by-step explanation:3 quarters is equal to 9/12. And 1/3 is equal to 4/12

If it is 9/12 full and 2500 gallons are drained then there are 4/3 left

9/12 - 4/3 is equal to 5/12.

Thta means 2500 gallons is 5/12 of the whole container

5/12 divided by 5 is 1/12

And 2500 divided by 5 is 500

That means every 1/12 of the container can fill 500 gallons

Do then 500 times 12 is 6000



Sorry I am really bad at explaining

If all the angles add up to 90 degrees then you can set the equation 7x-9*2x=90
Simplify
9x-9=90
Plus 9 both sides
9x=99
Divide by 9 on both sides
X=11

Solve for b.<br> r = (b-5)m
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

b=5m+r/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for b.

r=(b−5)(m)

Step 1: Flip the equation.

bm−5m=r

Step 2: Add 5m to both sides.

bm−5m+5m=r+5m

bm=5m+r

Step 3: Divide both sides by m.

bm/m=5m+r/m

b=5m+r/m

Answer:

b=5m+r/m
