let x = gallons needed 120 : 7 = 180 : x , or 120/7 = 180/x x/7 = 180/120 x = 7*3/2 x = 10.5 gallons

let x = first angle let 90-x = second angle then we set up the equation: 8x = (90-x) 8x + x = 90 9x = 90 x = 10 degrees 90-x = 80 degrees hope this helps~ :)

intermediate algebra
let x = first angle let 180-x = second angle then we set up the equation, 14x = 180-x 14x + x = 180 15x = 180 x = 12 degrees 180-x = 168 degrees hope this helps~ :)

Math
(-5^2+(x+2))/-4-(-6) = -10 (-25 + (x+2))/(-4+6) = -10 (-25 + (x+2))/2 = -10 -25 + x + 2 = -20 -23 + x = -20 x = -20 + 23 x = 3 so, it's letter (E). hope this helps~ :)

algebra
to do this, you just divide 1350 by 45. 1350/45 = ?

Math
3sqrt(2) + 5sqrt(4) + 8sqrt(2) - 2sqrt(6) 11sqrt(2) + 5*2 - 2sqrt(6) 10 + 11sqrt(2) - 2sqrt(6) hope this helps~ :)

Algebra
if we're solving for x, we will separate each parenthesis term and equate them to zero. there are two parenthesis terms in the problem: the (2x+1) and the (x-4). now we equate each to zero, and solve for x. 2x + 1 = 0 2x = -1 x = -1/2 (the first root) x - 4 = 0 x = 4 (the ...

Additional maths
let a = one root let (1/3)a = the other root recall that quadratic equation can also be written as, x^2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of products) = 0 thus, product of roots = -12 -12 = (1/3)a^2 -36 = a^2 a = 6i (1/3)a = 2i *note that i = sqrt(-1) , which is an imaginary number...

Additional maths
another solution: recall that a quadratic equation can also be rewritten as, x^2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0 where the numerical coeff of x = -(sum of roots), and constant = (product of roots) therefore, sum of roots = -2 + (-3) = -5 equating this to the numeric...
