Answer:

14.3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

18 1/6 gallons - 3 7/8 = 14.29

18 - 3 = 15

1/6 - 7/8 = 15 - 0.70833333333 = 14.2916666667

You need to be careful here if you use basic subtraction, simply as two minus would change to addition.

Answer: $\textsf{x = - 1 / 3}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: $\textsf{3x + 1}$

Find: $\textsf{The value of the unknown variable x}$

Solution: In order to solve for x we need to isolate it with the first step being to subtract 1 from both sides and then we would divide both sides by 3 to give us the solution.

<u>Subtract 1 from both sides</u>

$\textsf{3x + 1 = 0}$

$\textsf{3x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1}$

$\textsf{3x = 0 - 1}$

$\textsf{3x = - 1}$

<u>Divide both sides by 3</u>

$\textsf{3x / 3 = - 1 / 3}$

$\textsf{x = - 1 / 3}$

Therefore, the final answer would be that x is equal to -1/3.

One owl has a wingspan of 1⁄2 foot. A second owl's wingspan is 3⁄4 foot. How much longer is the wingspan of the second owl?

butalik [34]

To find the second owl's wingspan, we need to subtract 1/2 from 3/4.

First, we'll need to find the common denominator:

1/2 = 2/4

Then, we can subtract.

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

With this, we now know that 1/4 is the answer.
