Answer:

18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.

2/3 = 4/6

1/2 = 3/6

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.

3 * 6 = 18 gallons

Checking my answer:

18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12

12 - 3 = 9

1/2 of 18 = 9

This means that our answer is correct.

Simplify 3-3(5y+7)+(2y-6)

goblinko [34]

To simplify this, we need to do PEMDAS (parenthesis then exponents, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction). Here, we can't combine any like terms in the parenthesis. Since there's no exponents, that means that the next step is to do multiplication. This gives us:

3 - 15y - 21 + 2y - 6

Now we can combine like terms.

(-15y + 2y) + (3 - 21 - 6)

-13y - 24
