There would be no answer because if you expand the 8(x-5), your equation would be 8x-40=8x+40. since both of these have the same x value (including coefficient) and different y-intercepts, there is no possible way to get an x value
Answer:
The generator will run for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the volume of the gas tank that is on the generator. I am told that the gas tank is a rectangular prism that has the dimensions of 20 cm, 15 cm, and 10cm.
Area of any prism = height * width * length
Area of prism = 20 cm * 15 cm * 10 cm = 3,000 cm cubed
I am told the important info that <u>1,000 cm cubed = 1 liter </u>
Therefore, 3,000 cm cubed = 3 liters
I am also told that the generator will run for 2 hours on 1 liter of gas
Lets make a ratio table:
Hours the generator will run for : liters of gas
2 : 1
6 : 3
the generator will run for 6 hours.
