Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's have the capacity be c. The tank is currently at 4/5c. We subtract 190 and then we are at 1/6c. Let's set this up as an equation and solve it.

4/5c-190=1/6c

We want to get the c all by itself to see the capacity of the tank. Let's get all of the c values on the left side of the equation and the numbers on the right by using inverse operations.

4/5c-190=1/6c

Add 190 to both sides.

4/5c=1/6+190

Subtract 1/6 from both sides.

19/30c=190

Divide both sides by 19/30.

c=300

So, the capacity of the tank is 300 liters of water.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

tatuchka [14]

Given:

John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150.

The electric portion of the bill was $90.

To find:

The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas.

Solution:

Let x be the amount of gas bill.

The electric portion of the bill was $90 and John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150. So,

$90+x=150$

$x=150-90$

$x=60$

The gas portion of the bill was $60.

The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is:

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Electric bill}}{\text{Gas bill}}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{90}{60}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=3:2$

Therefore, the ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is 3:2.

Given:

In a right angle triangle θ is an acute angle and $\tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$ .

To find:

The value of $\cos \theta$ .

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

$\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

We have,

$\tan\theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$

It means the ratio of perpendicular to base is 3:5. Let 3x be the perpendicular and 5x be the base.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

$Hypotenuse=\sqrt{Perpendicular^2+base^2}$

$Hypotenuse=\sqrt{(3x)^2+(5x)^2}$

$Hypotenuse=\sqrt{9x^2+25x^2}$

$Hypotenuse=\sqrt{34x^2}$

$Hypotenuse=x\sqrt{34}$

In a right angle triangle,

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{5x}{x\sqrt{34}}$

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}$

Therefore, the value of $\cos \theta$ is $\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}$ .

Let f(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 and g(y) = y^3 + 7y^2 - 2. Find f(y) + g(y). Write your answer as a polynomial with terms of decre

Anarel [89]

<h3>Answer: y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5</h3>

Work Shown:

h(y) = f(y) + g(y)

h(y) = (y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3) + (y^3 + 7y^2 - 2)

h(y) = y^4 - 3y^3 + y - 3 + y^3 + 7y^2 - 2

h(y) = y^4 + (-3y^3+y^3) + 7y^2 + y + (-3 - 2)

h(y) = y^4 - 2y^3 + 7y^2 + y - 5

This is a fourth degree polynomial (aka quartic).

What does prime mean?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Prime numbers are whole numbers that are greater than 1 which only have factors of 1 and itself.

The area of the triangle is 1358 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 (base * height)

Area = 1/2 (56 * 48.5)

Area = 1/2 (2716)

Area = 1358
