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

Simplify the expression and show work.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

72/149

Step-by-step explanation:

Just to clarify, the curly braces mean the same thing as normal parenthesis.

(12 + 5^2) = (12 + 25) = 37

(-7-15)^2 = (-22)^2 = 484

6^3  = 216

(12 + 5^2) - (-7-15)^2 = 37 - 484 = 447

6^3 / ((12 + 5^2) - (-7 - 15)^2) = 216 / 447 = 72/149

What is the perimeter of a regular pentagon with a
choli [55]

Answer:the perimeter of the regular pentagon is 5x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around the plane figure. The pentagon is a plane figure. It has 5 sides. Since it is a regular Pentagon, it means that all the sides are equal.

From the information given, the length of each side of the regular Pentagon is x + 4

The perimeter of the regular Pentagon would be 5 times the length of each side. It becomes

5(x + 4) = 5x + 20
