Answer:
Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols. In elementary algebra, those symbols (today written as Latin and Greek letters) represent quantities without fixed values, known as variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute a 1 to the 12 and 8a
2. you'll get 15+ 12 +8a
3. add the like terms(15 and 12)
4. your final answer will be 27+8a
x/.75=x-56/0.4
0.4x=.75x-42
-0.35x=-42
x=120
I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Rate = 1.125
New Value = 312,750
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 1/8 = 0.125
1+0.125=1.125
1.125 x Old value = New Value
B.
1.125 x 278,000 = New Value
312,750
