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

What is 13x -4+100=180
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: x = 6.46153846

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation <em>13x - 4 +100 = 180</em>, and we must find the value of <em>x</em>. In order to do that get x on on one side by itself and a constant on the other side by itself.

This first step is to combine like terms. <em>13x</em> is by itself. <em>-4 + 100 = 96</em>. This gives us the equation <em>13x +96 = 180</em>.

In order to get <em>x </em>by itself, subtract 96 from each side of the equation. This gives us the equation 13x = 84.

Next, divide each side by 13 to find x. This gives us x = 6.46153846

13x - 4 +100=180

13x + 96 = 180

13x = 84

x = 6.46153856

Hope this helps! Have a nice day!

The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 20° less than the sum of the base angles. Which system of equations can be used to
WINSTONCH [101]

The answer to the above question can be explained as under -

We know that, the sum of angles of triangle is 180°.

So, vertex angle plus base angles are equal are equal to 180°.

Let the vertex angle be represented by "v" and base angles be represented by "b".

Thus,  v + b + b = 180°

So,  v + 2b = 180°

Next, the question says, the vertex angle is 20° less than the sum of base angles.

Thus, 2b - 20° = v

<u>Thus, we can conclude that the correct option is A) v + 2b = 180°, 2b - 20° = v</u>
