The container will take 25 minutes to go from full to empty.

Explanation:

In 15 minutes, the container has lost 3 gallons of water (

5

−

2

=

3

).

Since the leak is at a constant rate, we can determine that every five minutes the container loses one gallon.

So for the container to lose the full 5 gallons will take 25 minutes (

5

×

5

=

25

)

Write the sentence as an absolute value inequality, then solve the inequality: A number “n” is more than 9 units from 3
Helga [31]

Answer:

absolute vlaue inequality: |x-3| > 9; solved: x<-6 and x>12

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m going to start this off by saying I learned all this right now by just searching up how to solve an absolute inequality equation and watching one video, so this might not be an accurate explanation. (I’m pretty sure the answer’s right though)

So an absolute value inequality must be written like this:  

| x - a | *inequality* b

a is going to be the number that the inequality is centered around, in this case, 3. b will be how far you can deviate from that number, which in this case is 9.  

Now, you will have this:

|x - 3| *inequality* 9

Now, to find the inequality, you need to understand the wording. If it says “more than” as it does here, then you would have the greater-than symbol (>). If you have “less than” then you’d have the less-than symbol (<). If the problem says “at least b away” then it would be greater-than-or-equal to (≥), and likewise, if it says “at most b away” then it would be less-than-or-equal-to (≤).

So now we're at:

|x - 3| > 9

To solve the equation, you just need to subtract 9(b) from 3(a) and add 9(a) to 3(b) to get -6 and 12. Since x must be more than 9 units away, you would get:

x<-6 and x>12

Hope this is helpful!

Sue Brown is a salesperson at a car dealership. She earned a gross pay of $8000 for the month of June. Her state tax rate is 3.5
Neporo4naja [7]

Sue Brown owes $280.00 in state taxes for the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Gross pay of Sue in June = $8000

Tax rate = 3.5%

As full amount is taxable; therefore

Amount of tax to be paid = 3.5% of pay of June

Amount of tax to be paid = \frac{3.5}{100}*8000

Amount of tax to be paid = 0.035*8000

Amount of tax to be paid = $280.00

Sue Brown owes $280.00 in state taxes for the month.
