Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a fun fact, all of those angles actually add up to 360 degrees!
How do we know this? Well if you were to draw a small arc between each of the lines, you would see that the arc would end up making a circle. And remember, circles have 360 degrees!
Now we can do some basic algebra. Add up all the angles and set that equal to 360.
(2x) + (x) + (3x + 20) + (2x+20) = 360.
8x + 40 = 360
8x = 320
x = 40

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
Answer:
3+4 = 5+2
Step-by-step explanation:
They equal each other when they are added up.
