She will use 3 rows of 3 squares, for a total of 9 squares.
Since the shape she is covering is a square, all of the sides are equal. If 3 square tiles fit across the width of the top, then 3 square tiles fit across the length of it as well. This makes 3 by 3, or 9 squares.
Add 8 to both sides
3x=33
Divide both sides by 3
x=11
The tank is leaking at the rate of 6 gallons per hour.
If you do nothing but sit there and watch it all afternoon,
here's what you'll see:
First hour . . . . 6 gallons leaks out
Second hour . another 6 gallons leaks out
Third hour . . . another 6 gallons leaks out
Total gone after 3 hours: (6 + 6 + 6) = 18 gallons .
What is the value of x in this diagram?
Please help
