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.

Suppose for some value of x the solution to the equation 2.5(y−x)=0 is y = 6. What must be true about x?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, you input the value of y (y = 6) into the equation ( 2.5(y-x)= 0)

2.5(6-x) = 0

Open the bracket,

(2.5×6)-2.5x= 0

Collect like terms.

2.5x= 2.5×6

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (2.5)

x = 6

So,

x= 6 is true.

.

Substituting 6 for x in the equation,

2.5(6-6)= 0

2.5•0 = 0

0= 0

Which is also true.
