8 0

Answer:

  x = 17 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

  (3x)/(4x) = (3x +7)/(5x -8)

  3(5x -8) = 4(3x +7) . . . . . . . . multiply by 4(5x-8)

  15x -24 = 12x +28 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x = 52 . . . . . . . . . . add 24-12x

  x = 17 1/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Laura’s fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 5 liter per minute until the tank has more than 72 liters. What
Hoochie [10]
T= number of minutes

Multiply 5 liters by number of minutes (t), then add the 17 liters already in the tank. This totals 72 liters or more.

17 + 5t ≥ 72
subtract 17 from both sides

5t ≥ 55
divide both sides by 5

t ≥ 11 minutes


ANSWER: Laura could add water for 11 minutes to be sure the tank has 72 liters or more.

Hope this helps! :)
