Answer:

27 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is: \frac{2x}{9} +12 = \frac{2x}{3}

What do we need to find: x

We need to first find x, so lets find x first.

12 =  \frac{2x}{3}  -  \frac{2x}{9}

=> 12 = \frac{6x}{9} - \frac{2x}{9}

=> 12 = \frac{4x}{9}

=> x = 27

Lets go back to our equation.

\frac{2(27)}{9} +12 = \frac{2(27)}{3}

We are going to simplify this before solving this. We are going to get:\frac{54}{9} +12 = \frac{54}{3}

=> 18 = 18

Therefore, we found x and we checked that our x value is correct. Now, we need to find how many gallons can the container can hold.

\frac{3x}{3} = a                                                           [a = gallons can the container hold]

=> x = a

Basically that means the container can hold 27 gallons of water.

Please give me brainliest if this is helpful ;D

Answer:

27 Gallons

Explanation:

2/9 of the container is already full, 12 gallons are added. After the 12 gallons are added, 6/9 is full.
12g (gallons) = 4/9 so,
12g + 12g = 24g or 8/9
1/9 = 3g
12g + 12g + 3g = 27 Gallons!!

how many times as much is the number of students at Pengrove university has the number of students at Allentown College?
svp [43]
The answer would be: D-100. The reasoning of this is because if you take 3 X 10 to the third power and did the exponent (10 to the third power in this case) and multiplied it you would obviously get 1,000 for an answer. Then would would do 1,000 X 3 to get 3,000.

If the pattern continues how many cups of milk does George need to make 6 batches of muffins
alexdok [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the differences between consecutive terms, that is

\frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{8}

1 \frac{1}{8} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8}

1 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}

To obtain the next term in the pattern add \frac{3}{8} to the previous term.

batches = 5 ⇒ milk = 1 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{8} = 1 \frac{7}{8}

batches = 6 ⇒ milk = 1 \frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = 2 \frac{1}{4}

Solve:<br><br> (15/x)+(9x-7)/(x+2)=9
hram777 [196]

Answer:x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

D( x )

x+2 = 0

x = 0

x+2 = 0

x+2 = 0

x+2 = 0 // - 2

x = -2

x = 0

x = 0

x in (-oo:-2) U (-2:0) U (0:+oo)

(9*x-7)/(x+2)+15/x = 9 // - 9

(9*x-7)/(x+2)+15/x-9 = 0

(x*(9*x-7))/(x*(x+2))+(15*(x+2))/(x*(x+2))+(-9*x*(x+2))/(x*(x+2)) = 0

x*(9*x-7)+15*(x+2)-9*x*(x+2) = 0

9*x^2-9*x^2+8*x-18*x+30 = 0

30-10*x = 0

(30-10*x)/(x*(x+2)) = 0

(30-10*x)/(x*(x+2)) = 0 // * x*(x+2)

30-10*x = 0

30-10*x = 0 // - 30

-10*x = -30 // : -10

x = -30/(-10)

x = 3

x = 3

Tammy has a job that has a weekly salary of $1,200 but wants to switch a job that has a monthly salary of $11,700. How much more
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

$1529.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tammy has a job that has a weekly salary of $1,200.

But wants to switch a job that has a monthly salary of $11,700

Question asked:

How much more will she make per week if she switch to the new job?

Solution:

Monthly salary of a new job, she wants to switch = $11,700

Weekly salary  of a new job, she wants to switch = ?

As we know : 1 month = 4.286 Weeks

Salary of 1 month for a new job, she wants to switch = $11,700

Salary of  4.286 Weeks  for a new job, she wants to switch =  $11,700

Salary of 1 Week  for a new job, she wants to switch = 11700\div4.286=\$2729.81

Now, we have to find that How much more she will make per week,  if she switch to the new job.

More money she will make for a new job she wants o switch = Weekly salary for a new job, she wants to switch  - Weekly salary of current job

More money she will make, for a new job = $2729.8 - $1200 = $1529.8

Therefore, she will  make $1529.8 more  per week if she switch to the new job.
