Idk times base by height twice or a parallelogram equals 180
(x - 5)^2 =
(x - 5)(x - 5) =
x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25 =
x^2 - 10x + 25 <===
If you want to find out what that number is, then let's call it n
n + 3n (Three times the number) + 12 = 32
Simplify
4n + 12 = 32
Subtract 12 from each side
4n = 20
Divide each side by 4
n = 5
Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...
6t = 144 *
.... first multiply the right side of the equation
6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6
t = 8
Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
