Answer:

Simple....

you have: one is leaking 3 gallons per week and holds 256 gallons; whereas, the other one is leaking 5 gallons per week and holds 384 gallons.

Set up both the equations....

In y=mx+b form--->>>

y=-3x+256

y=-5x+384

To figure out when they will be equal..set the equations equal to each other....(remember to isolate the variable)

-3x+256=-5x+384

-3x+256=-5x+384

     -256        -256

-3x=-5x+128

-3x=-5x+128

+5x+5x

2x=128

x=64

After 64 weeks the amount of water in both tanks will be the same.

Thus, your answer.

What is the value of x in this equation? Enter your answer in the box.
katrin [286]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

(2.4×10³)×(3×10^x)=7.2×10^9

(3x10^x)=(7.2×10^9)/(2.4×10^3)

3×10^x=3×10^6

10^x=10^6

*when bases are same ,powers are equated*

thus x=6

PLEASE HELP!
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

See the attached figure

y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0

Given the functions:

y = 3^x   ⇒ the graph with the blue color

y = 2(1/2)^x  ⇒ the graph with the red color

y = (1/4)^x  ⇒ the graph with the green color

<u>As shown:</u>

<u>y = 3^x</u>

y-intercept at (0, 1)

graph initially increases slowly and then increases rapidly

<u>y = 2(1/2)^x</u>

y-intercept at (0, 2)

graph initially decreases rapidly and then decreases slowly

<u>y = (1/4)^x</u>

y-intercept at (0, 1)

graph initially decreases rapidly and then decreases slowly

What is the answer of the equation<br> -0.35+(-0.75+0.4)
Evgen [1.6K]
In the order of operations, parentheses come before addition. 

-0.75 + 0.4 = -0.35

-0.35 + -0.35 = -0.7.

-0.35 + (-0.75 + 0.4) = -0.7

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day :)

azul has 4 green picks and no orange picks. you add only orange picks so 2 in every 3 picks are orange. how many picks are there
pychu [463]

You have 4 green picks and, after adding some orange picks, you know that every 2 picks from 3 are orange.

So, 1 green pick needs 2 orange picks, three in total. Since you have 4 green picks, then you will have in total 3·4=12 picks (4 green and 12-4=8 orange).

Answer: there are 12 picks in total.
