A tank has 120 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 12 gallon each second. Another tank has 100 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 14 gallon each second. Which equation could be used to determine x, the number of seconds, when the two tanks have the same amount of water? Multiple choice question.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 40 seconds

The tanks will therefore have the same amount of water after the 40 seconds
Answer 2

The equation could be used to determine x, the number of seconds, when the two tanks have the same amount of water is 120-1/2x = 100-1/4x

What is meant by equation?

There are many different ways to define an equation. Algebraically speaking, an equation is a statement that shows the equality of two mathematical expressions.

Various kinds of equations: Algebraic math equations include the following.

Equation with Lines;

More than one variable may be present in a linear equation. An equation is said to be linear if the maximum power of the variable is consistently 1. Another name for it is a one-degree equation.

Equation in Quadrature

This equation is of second order. At least one of the variables in a quadratic equation needs to be raised to exponent 2.

Cubic Formula

A third-order equation is this one. At least one of the variables in cubic equations needs to be increased to exponent 2

Given ,

tank 1 = 120 - 1/2x

tank 2 =100 - 1/4x

Therefore 120-1/2x = 100-1/4x

So we can conclude that  the equation could be used to determine x, the number of seconds, when the two tanks have the same amount of water is 120-1/2x = 100-1/4x

The complete question is: A tank has 120 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 12 gallon each second. Another tank has 100 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 14 gallon each second. Which equation could be used to determine x, the number of seconds, when the two tanks have the same amount of water? Multiple choice question.

120x + 1/2 = 100x + 1/4

120 + 1/2x = 100 + 1/4x

120x - 1/2 = 100x - 1/4

120 - 1/2x = 100 - 1/4x

Which of the following equations represents a line that is parallel to the line 3x - 2y = 12
and passes through the point (7, 10)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12=3x-2y

2y+12=3x

2y=3x-12

y=(3x-12)/2

y=mx+b

To be parallel to the line above our line must have the same slope or m. The above line has a slope of 3/2 or 1.5 so the parallel line will be

y=1.5x+b, using point (7,10) we can solve for the y intercept or b

10=1.5(7)+b

10=10.5+b

b=-0.5 so our line is

y=1.5x-0.5

3) The cost of a movie ticket and a candy bar is $5. The cost of 2 tickets
and a candy bar is $8.75. How much is a candy bar? *

Answers

Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the movie ticket be x and the candy bar be y

x+y= 5-------------1

also

2x+y= 8.75--------2

solve 1 and 2

x+y= 5

2x+y= 8.75

from 1

x= 5-y

put this inplace of x in 2

2(5-y)+y=8.75

10-2y+y= 8.75

10-y= 8.75

10-8.75=y

y= 1.25

Hence candy bar is $1.25

If m = 110°, then m =

110

Answers

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

∠PDB = 110°

PDis the tangent to the circle whose centre is E

Construction

Join points D and E.

∠DPE= 90° [Since angle in a semi circle is 90°]

Also ∠PDE = 90° [Since radius ⊥ tangent]

From the figure we have,

∠PDB=∠PDE + ∠DBE

i.e. 110° = 90° + ∠DBE

Therefore, ∠DBE =20°

Now in ΔBED, BE = ED [Radii]

So, ∠EDB = ∠EBD =20°

In ΔBPD, we have

∠DPE = 90° & ∠DBE = 20°

Therefore, ∠DPB = 70°

Answer:

70 is the correct answer

B is opposite to the 57 degree angle, the shortest angle, so it’s the shortest side. A is opposite to the 59 degree angle, so it is the second shortest side. C is opposite to the 64 degree angle, the largest angle, so it’s the longest side.

Since A is moved down by 11 units and moved right by 4. We can use Point D’s coordinate to find where Point D1 will be.

Original coordinate of D: (3,1)

Coordinate of D1
= (3+4 , 1-11)

= (7,-10)

You plus 4 because it’s moved to right by 4 units. And minus -11 because it’s moved down by 11 units.

If the figure is,
- Moved up, we plus
- Moved down, we minus
- Moved right, we plus
- Moved left, we minus


For right and left, we use the x-coordinates. And for up and down, we use the y-coordinate.
