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.

I need this answered in ONE minute

Answer:

$x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 7x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to multiply the given polynomials.

$(x^ 2 + 3x + 1) \times (x^2 + x + 2)$

Multiply each term of the first polynomial to each term of the second polynomial.

$x^ 2 \times (x^2 + x + 2) = x^4 + x^3 + 2x^2$

$3x \times (x^2 + x + 2) = 3x^3 + 3x^2 + 6x$

$1 \times (x^2 + x + 2) = x^2 + x + 2$

Add the results

$(x^4 + x^3 + 2x^2) + (3x^3 + 3x^2 + 6x) + ( x^2 + x + 2)$

Combine the like terms

$x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 7x + 2$

The answer is written in descending powers of x.

What is -2(5+6m) + 16 = -90 ?<br> Can you please show with detail

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(5 + 6m) + 16 = -90

Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses. This means you will multiply everything inside the parentheses (5 + 6m) by -2.

-10 - 12m + 16 = -90

Simplify the left side of the equation by combining like terms.

6 - 12m = -90

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing the variable m and to move all other terms to the other side (right) of the equation.

-12m = -96

Divide both sides of the equation by -12 to isolate and solve for m.

m = 8

Akshay purchased goods costing ₹5,00,000 and sold at 20% profit on cost. Calculate the selling price of goods.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

the selling price of the goods is ₹6,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the selling price of the goods are shown below:

As we know that

Selling price = Cost price + profit

= 5,00,000 + 5,00,000 × 0.20

= 5,00,000 + 1,00,000

= ₹6,00,000

Hence, the selling price of the goods is ₹6,00,000
