A rainwater was 2/3 full of water. After 60 liters of water were used from the barrel, it was 5/12 full. How much water does the barrel hold when full?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  240 liters

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = capacity of barrel in liters

This value of x is some positive real number. It represents the most amount of water the barrel can hold.

The problem states that the barrel is 2/3 full to start with. This means, we start off with (2/3)x liters of water. Then we subtract off 60 of them to get to 5/12 full, meaning we have (5/12)x liters left.

We can form this equation

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

Multiply both sides by 12 to clear out the fractions

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

12*( (2/3)x - 60 ) = 12*(5/12)x

12*(2/3)x - 12*60 = 12*(5/12)x

8x - 720 = 5x

From here we solve for x

8x - 5x = 720

3x = 720

x = 720/3

x = 240

The barrel's full capacity is 240 liters

--------------------------

Check:

2/3 of 240 = (2/3)*240 = 160

The barrel starts off with 160 liters of water inside.

We then use 60 of them to be left with 160-60 = 100 liters

Note how 100/240 = (5*20)/(12*20) = 5/12, showing that 100 liters out of 240 total reduces to the fraction 5/12. In other words, when we say "5/12 full" we mean 100 liters full. This helps confirm we have the right answer.

How many solutions are there to the following equation?
5 ( x-3 ) - 3x = 8x - 15 - 6x

A) exactly two solutions
B) exactly one solution
C) no solution
D) infinitely many solutions

Answers

Answer:

D) infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x-3 ) - 3x = 8x - 15 - 6x

5x - 3x - 15 = 8x - 6x - 15

2x - 15 = 2x - 15

2x = 2x

Since, equations of both lines are same. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5(x - 3) - 3x = 8x - 15 - 6x

5x - 15 - 3x = 2x - 15

2x - 15 = 2x - 15

Since both sides are the same then any real value of x will be a solution.

That is there are infinitely many solutions

Wilson is 6 years older than Mary.  

(MARY's age + 6 = WILSON's age)  

Wilson's age is 10 years less than five times Mary's age.  

(MARY's age * 5 - 10years = WILSON's age)

Work the equation backwards... she has bought 9 extra dolls to add on the the half of her original amount. Without the extra 9 dolls (13 - 9), Jasmine has half of her original amount left (4) and so to find the original amount of dolls, think that if 4 is half the amount, what is 4 half of? 4 is half of 8 and so 8 is the original amounting dolls she had.

What is the slope of the linear equation y=x+10
a. Slope=m=10
b. Slope=m=1
c. Slope=m=5
d. Slope=m=11

Answers

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = x + 10 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

The answer is A because slope=m=10 is equal to a line
