Answer: We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Dan's full tank.

So we know that right now he has 1/3x or 1/3 of a full tank.

After adding 12 gallons, at the end, he has 7/9x, or 7/9 of a full tank

So we start with

(1/3)x + 12 = 7/9x

Let's subtract 1/3x from both sides

12 = 7/9x - 1/3x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/3 becomes 3/9

12 = 7/9x - 3/9x

Now we simplify to get

12 = 4/9x

Multiply the reciprocal of 4/9 to both sides which is 9/4

12 * 9/4 = x

Answer is 27 gallons.

<span>Subject to the surface area </span>
<span>S = 2xy + 2xz + 2yz = 64 </span>
<span>= 2(xy + xz + yz) </span>
<span>= 2[xy + x(64/xy) + y(64/xy)] </span>
<span>S(x,y)= 2(xy + 64/y + 64/x) </span>
<span>Then </span>
<span>Mx(x, y) = y = 64/x^2 </span>
<span>My(x, y) = x = 64/y^2 </span>
<span>y^2 = 64/x </span>
<span>(64/x^2)^2 = 64 </span>
<span>4096/x^4 = 64/x </span>
<span>x^3 = 4096/64 </span>
<span>x^3 = 64 </span>
<span>x = 4 </span>
<span>y = 64/x^2 </span>
<span>y = 4 </span>
<span>z= 64/yx </span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem.

c^2 = a^2+b^2

c^2 = 4^2+6^2

c^2 = 16+36

c^2 = 52

c = √52 = 7.21

An employee earns $195 for 15 hours of work. Assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will the employee earn in 8 hours?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. First, find the employee’s hourly rate.  You can do this by dividing the total amount earned by the total hours worked. \frac{195}{15}=13
  2. Now that you know that the employee’s hourly rate is $13 per hour, you can multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours. 13*8=104

6.Find the missing value. Show your work. Round to the nearest hundredth. a. b. c.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Here the base angle given is 51°.

The side opposite to 51° is y

The hypotenuse is given as 12.

The trigonometric ratio associating opposite & hypotenuse is sin

We know sin = Opposite/ Hypotenuse

Substituting the values   of angle , opposite & hypotenuse

We have

y/12 = sin 51°

Multiplying both sides by 12 we get

y=12 × sin 51°

y = 9.326

Rounding to the nearest hundredths we get

y = 9.33
