Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...
6t = 144 * 
.... first multiply the right side of the equation
6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6
t = 8
Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
a parallelogram has sides that are parallel to the opposite side. This means that y + 7 is going to be parallel to 20.
Two opposing sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal
You know that the length of both of the sides is equivalent because the other set of opposing lines is also parallel (you can think of it as cutting off the line segment of y+7 and 20 at the same length. )
this means that we can set up the equation to find y as:
y + 7 = 20
then, you can proceed to find y by isolating it:
y + 7 = 20 ; so therefore
y + 7 = 20
- 7 -7
y = 13
y = 13
So, the value of y is 13
