Answer:
a = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a-7)=a+4
Distribute 2 into left side: 2a -14 = a + 4
subtract a from both sides 2a-a-14 = a+4-a
Simplify: a - 14 = 4
Add 14 to both sides: a - 14 + 14 = 4 +14
Simplify: a = 18
If wanted, plug a into original to double check work:
plug in: 2 (18-7) = 18+4
do parenthesis first: 2 (11) = 18+4
do multiplication : 22 = 18+4
additions: 22 =22
a = 18 is correct.
4(5x+25)
5(4x+20)
10(2x+10)
2(10x+50)
20(x+5)

You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.
Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.
Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.
If you have any questions please comment!! Hope this helps!!
Use pythagorean’s theorem
as you can see it’s a right isosceles triangle
so your equation is adapted to this:
p^2 + p^2=44^2
add like terms and simplify
2p^2=1936
divide by 2
p^2=968
square root
p= √968
simplify
p=22√2
the answer would be your second option
184.2 is the answer to 4 significant figure
