Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
= 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to make sure that they have a common denominator before doing anything.

Find the lowest common multiple (lcm), which would be 12 (3 x 4 = 12)

So then, put 12 as both denominators, and subtract.

7/12 - 9/12 is equal to 28/12 - 27/12, because 3 miltiplied by 4 equals 12, therefore you mutiply the 7 by the 4, and 4 miltiplied by 3 equals 12, therefore you multiply the 9 by the 3.

Sorry if this is confusing, i tried explaining as best i could! Hope this helped!

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of

ruslelena [56]

Hi there!

When we have an equation standard form...
$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$
...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac

When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0

Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant

$( - 8) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 7 = 64 - 28 = 36$

D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.

2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0

Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.

${4}^{2} - 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 - 16 = 0$

D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.

~ Hope this helps you.
