Answer:
a = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x + 1 ......(1)
Going through y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m is slope and it is 2
y1 = 9 and x1 = a
y - 9 = 2(x - a)
y - 9 = 2x - 2a
y = 2x - 2a + 9 ........(2)
Equating (1) and (2)
2x + 1 = 2x - 2a + 9
Collecting like terms
2x - 2x + 2a = 9 - 1
2a = 8
a = 8/2
a = 4
That is true, I don,t quite know how to explain it but I just did this problem yesterday.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's have the capacity be c. The tank is currently at 4/5c. We subtract 190 and then we are at 1/6c. Let's set this up as an equation and solve it.
4/5c-190=1/6c
We want to get the c all by itself to see the capacity of the tank. Let's get all of the c values on the left side of the equation and the numbers on the right by using inverse operations.
4/5c-190=1/6c
Add 190 to both sides.
4/5c=1/6+190
Subtract 1/6 from both sides.
19/30c=190
Divide both sides by 19/30.
c=300
So, the capacity of the tank is 300 liters of water.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
