Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x
Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week
You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.
You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.
Add 9x to both sides
944 - 5x + 9x = 1180
944 + 4x = 1180
Subtract 944 from both sides.
4x = 1180 - 944
4x = 236
Divide by 4
x = 236/4
x = 59 weeks
Answer:
35 - m
Step-by-step explanation:
A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute.
"m" represents the number of minutes spent
Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent rate of leakage.
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes 1 gallons per minute
Step 1: Substitute the value of x into the equation
x= 3-3/2y
-3x+5y=10
Step 2: Solve the equation
-3(3-3/2y)+5y=10
Step 3: Substitute the value of y into the equation
Y=2
Step 4: Solve the equation
X=3-3/2×2 = X=0
Answer: (0,2)
P = 4
13 + 3 = 16
16/4 = 4
These questions require reverse order, you have to work backwards
For example 4 * P you would do 4/P instead
