Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>See attachment for number line</em>
From the attachment, we have the following details:
The first shade of blue covered 10 blocks
The second shade of blue covered 5 further blocks which totaled to 15
So, the fraction of the blue blocks is:
Divide fraction by 5/5
Also from the attachment:
The shaded block stopped at the fraction:
So, the expression that represents this scenario is:
<em>Option (c) answers the question</em>
<h2>1. repeat </h2><h2>2. repeat </h2><h2>3. terminate </h2><h2 />
Infinitely many solutions means that you have the same thing on both sides of the equation no matter what value of x you plug in, right?
We just need both sides to be 3x then, correct?
If a were equal to 3 and b were equal to 0, we'd have
3x = (3)x + 0
Which is essentially 3x = 3x
So that means a = 3 and b = 0 must work!
Let's say x = 5
3(5) = 3(5) + 0
15 = 15 + 0
15 = 15
That means that a = 3 and b = 0 is your final answer :)
The answer would be the 3rd number line or "C"
7/10x - 5 = 1/2x
7/10x - 1/2x = 5
7/10x - 5/10x = 5
2/10x = 5
x = 5 / (2/10)
x = 5 * 10/2
x = 50/2
x = 25 gallons <===
