Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
these are similar triangles
8 12
------ = -----------
x+4 2x+1
using cross products
8* (2x+1) = 12(x+4)
distribute
16x + 8 = 12x+48
subtract 12x from each side
16x-12x +8 = 12x-12x+48
4x+8 = 48
subtract 8 from each side
4x+8-8 = 48-8
4x = 40
divide by 4
4x/4 = 40/x
x =10
Answer: the associative property of addition
Step-by-step explanation: when adding three or more terms, you can combine the middle terms with either the first term or the last term and as you add the results, the sum will be the same either way.
First find the absolute value of -16.75. |-16.75|= 16.75
Then multiply that by 2. 16.75x2=33.5
So 2|-16.75| simplified is 33.5
It is called the X cordinate
(X,Y)
Answer:
30 Gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so you need to start by making an equation for yourself. Since the container starts at 1/10 of the total, you want to start by saying 1/10x. Then you add 12 gallons of water to make it half full. So 1/10x + 12 = 1/2x where x is the total amount that can fit in the container.
1/10x + 12 = 1/2x (Move your x's to the same side.)
12 = 1/2x - 1/10x (Find a common denominator.)
12 = 5/10x - 1/10x (Simplify/)
12 = 4/10x (Multiply both sides by 10; your demoninator)
120 = 4x (Divide)
x = 30
Your container holds 30 gallons.
