5 gallons x gallons
------------- = ----------------
12 hours 240 hours
using cross products
5 * 240 = 12 * x
1200 = 12 x
divide each side by 12
1200/12 = 12x/12
100 =x
You will need 100 gallons
Eight below zero would express the value -8, negative eight,
but not 8.
Answer: x = - 12/9 ( the equation is negative)
Step-by-step explanation:
\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=13+\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}x
\frac{5}{3}x=3x+\frac{38}{3}
\frac{5}{3}x-3x=3x+\frac{38}{3}-3x
-\frac{4}{3}x=\frac{38}{3}
3\left(-\frac{4}{3}x\right)=\frac{38\cdot \:3}{3}
-4x=38
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{38}{-4}
x=-\frac{19}{2}
Value of x is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find x when ΔABC ≅ ΔDEC.
When these two triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles and sides will be equal.
⇒ ∠B = ∠E
⇒ 44° = 4x
∴ x = 44/4 = 11
