So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE
so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units
5 would be the answer to it
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the amount used can be shown as 4 1/4, or 4.25 so to find out how much gas is left in the tank you simply subtract 4.25 from 20.
20-4.25
=15.75
There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find an equation in the options which is same as the equation given in the question;
The equation we are testing against is;
0.05n + 0.1d = 3.65
What we can do here is divide through by 0.01
So we will have;
0.05n/0.01 + 0.1d/0.01 = 3.65/0.01
= 5n + 10d = 365
Speed is the rate of change of distance.
the speed of the truck for the 100 miles within 2 hours is
speed = 100 miles travelled / 2 hours taken
speed = 50 miles/hour
assuming that the driver drives at 50 miles/hr
the time taken to drive 50 miles is - 1 hour
therefore to drive 300 miles - it takes - 300 miles / 50 miles/hr
the time taken is - 6 hours
it takes 6 hours to drive for 300 miles
