Answer:

59

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x

Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week

You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.

You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.

Add 9x to both sides

944 - 5x + 9x = 1180

944 + 4x = 1180                

Subtract 944 from both sides.

4x = 1180 - 944

4x = 236      

Divide by 4

x = 236/4

x = 59 weeks

The length of a rectangle is 1 more than 3 times the width. 5 times the length is 45 more than the perimeter. Find the dimension
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

width = w

length= 3w+1

perimeter= 5(3w+1) -45

perimeter     =   2(l+b)

5(3w+1) -45 = 2{(3w+1)+w}

  15w  - 40   =  8w+2

             6w  = 42

               w  =7

therefore width = <u>7</u>

 length= 3w+1  =  <u>22</u>

perimeter=  <u>65</u>

Mirror and the three friends each had three over for food of they need it to have 5 feet of rope altogether. Do they have enough
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Do they have enough?

Nope, they don't have enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

They would not have enough because 3/4 times 4 would not equal 5...it would equal 3. Mario and his 3 friends each have 3/4 foot of rope. They needed 5 feet of rope altogether. Do they have enough rope? They would need 2 more feet of rope to complete the 5 feet. But they do not have enough feet of rope to make 5 feet.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 18<br>​
larisa [96]

Answer:

4,6,8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 1st even integer

x+2 =2nd even integer

x+4 =3nd even integer

x+ x+2 + x+4 = 18

Combine like terms

3x+6 = 18

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6=18-6

3x= 12

Divide by 3

3x/3 =12/3

x = 4

x+2 = 6

x+4 = 8
