So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
Answer:
D. 158/6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 158/6 you get 26.3333333333 which is a repeating decimal, and makes it a rational number.
Capacity of the tank = 45 gallon
At the beginning of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*0.8 = 36 gallons
At the end of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*1/3 = 15 gallons
So, amount of oil used during Oct = (36-15) = 21 gallons

Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value or the point intersection.
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation: Imagine having 5 chocolate bars and then adding 2, or you could try counting with your fingers. Another method is writing a number line and going plus 2 from five so you can visualize it more.
