Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So the easiest way to solve this one is basic reasoning. It's easy to find 3/4 of a number if you know what 1/4 is.

20/4 = 5, or 1/4 of 20 = 5

3/4 is 3 times as much as 1/4, so 5(3)=15

Or, you can solve using a proportion

3       x

_  =   _

4      20

(those are fractions)

Cross multipy

3 (20) = 4x

60 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable

15 = x

The final way to solve this is by converting the decimal to a fraction. 3/4 = 0.75

20 x 0.75 = 15

(2,-2)(5,7)

7-(-2)= 9
5-2= 3
9/3= 3

slope = 3

(you could also calculate the slope by just counting up how many units it goes up/down when you pick a point from the x-axis and move left/right. basically counting the rise over run)

Explain why graphing the solutions of an inequality is more efficient than listing all the solutions of the inequality.
Nadya [2.5K]
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind here. You can list all of the possible points in a solution region, or you can list a few points to give the general pattern. Though this method requires a bit more work than simply graphing and showing the solution shaded region. A visual is often more efficient at conveying a message especially to those who aren't proficient with algebra. I'm sure there are other reasons why graphs are the better choice, but that's all I could think of really.

Pls help on algebra homework. Will mark brainliest!
Over [174]

Answer:

H)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Length XY is 20 centimeters. Since YZ = 3/5 XY, \frac{3}5\times20=12

YZ = 12 + 20 = 32 cm, hence H)

Hope you have a nice day! (Pls mark brainliest)
