Answer:
12.000
Step-by-step explanation:
40000x6= 240000/100= 2400x5
58 to x should be the ratio of 6/3 or 1/2 if they are similar.
Find out how much bigger 58 is compared to 6, the matching side on the other polygon.
58/6 = ~9.7
The x side should be half of this, just like it is on the smaller polygon.
9.7/2 = 4.85
4.85 x 3 = 14.55
Multiply both sides by 20
Answer:
I think you want the value of p. So it is 12.
X = bessie and y = betty
x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375
x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons
y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons
