Answer: 16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that 1/4 of the gas is left, it simply means that (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 has been used.

The tank was filled and this was 12 gallons of gas.

Let the gas that the tank hold be represented by x. Therefore,

3/4 of x = 12

3/4 × x = 12

0.75x = 12

x = 12/0.75

x = 16

The tank holds 16 gallons of gas.

The sum of two numbers is -10.5.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-5 and -5.5;

-12.5 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two negative addends, can be added together to give -10.5.

For example:

(-5) + (-5.5) = -5 - 5.5 = -10.5

Also, it is possible for one of the addends to be negative while the other is positive, and their sum will give us -10.5.

For example:

The sum of -12.5 and 2 will give us -10.5.

We are adding a positive and a negative number here. As usual, we will subtract the smaller number from the bigger number, while the result will carry the sign of the bigger number, which in this case is negative sign.

Thus:

(-12.5) + (2) = -10.5
