Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Dan's full tank.

So we know that right now he has 1/5x or 1/5 of a full tank.

After adding 13 gallons, at the end, he has 7/10x, or 7/10 of a full tank

So we start with

(1/5)x + 13 = 7/10x

Let's subtract 1/5x from both sides

13 = 7/10x - 1/5x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/3 becomes 2/10

13 = 7/10-2/10x

Now we simplify to get

13 = 5/10x

Multiply the reciprocal of 5/10 to both sides which is 10/5

13 * 10/5= x

Answer is 26 gallons.

Therefore, Deon's tank can hold 26 gallons.

Answer:

26 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/10 - 1/5

= 7/10 - 2/10

= 5/10 = 1/2.

So the tank holds 2*13 = 26 gallons.

F(x) = -2 (x-9)2 + 14
= -4(x-9) + 14
= -2 [ 2(x-9) -7 ]
= -2 (2x -18 -7)
= -2 (2x -25)

Carlos's father bought him a 18-foot board to cut into shelves for his bedroom. Carlos plans to cut the board into 7 equal size
IRINA_888 [86]
If he cuts the board into 7 pieces, that will require 6 cuts with his saw. Therefore, he will lose 6 * .125, or .75 feet for all of the cuts, resulting in 17.25 feet in total after the cuts.
