Answer:

2/3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We have the following data

1/2 gallons is the same as 0.5 gallons

hence 0.5 gallons will cover 3/4 of his deck

           x gallons will cover 1 of his deck

cross multiply we have

3/4*x = 0.5*1 gallons

3x/4= 0.5

3x= 2

divide both sides by 3

x= 2/3

Hence 2/3 gallons will cover the entire deck

John and Emily are brother and sister. John has as many brothers as sisters, and Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters. Ho
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

4 boys, 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

brothers of John ⇒ x

sisters of John ⇒ y

John has as many brothers as sisters:

  1. x = y

brothers of Emily ⇒ x + 1 (Emily have the same amount of brother as John, plus one (John))

sisters of Emily ⇒ y -1 (Emily have the same amount of sister as John, minus one (herself))

Emily has twice as many brothers as sisters:

  1. 2 (y-1) = x+ 1

Now we have a system of 2 equations and 2 variables

x=y (I)

2y - 2 = x + 1 (II)

____________

Replace x in equation II

2y - 2 = y + 1

2y - y = 2 + 1

y = 3

____________

Replace y in equation I

x = y = 3

That mean that John have 3 brothers plus himself, there is 4 boys in the family and John have 3 sister, so there is 3 girls in the family

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x. Equilateral me
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3*(4x - 3) = 63                         Divide both sides by 3

4x - 3 = 63/3

4x - 3 = 21                                Add 3 to both sides

4x = 21 + 3

4x = 24                                    Divide by 4 on both sides

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Note: The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. One side is 4x - 3 All 3 sides must be 3*(4x - 3)
