To solve this problem, all we have to do is to thoroughly analyze the situation step by step.

First let us work on the remaining 10 gallons of water in the tank. We are given that 2 / 3 of the water initially in the tank leaked out. Therefore this means that we are left with 1 / 3 the original amount of water which is 10 gallons, hence:

(1 / 3) Vi = 10 gallons

where Vi is the initial volume of water inside the tank, calculating for Vi:

Vi = 3 (10 gallons)

Vi = 30 gallons

 

We are also given that this initial volume of water is just 3 / 4 of the total capacity of the tank, therefore:

(3 / 4) Vc = Vi

where Vc is the volume capacity of the tank, calculating for Vc:

Vc = 4 Vi / 3

Vc = 4 (30 gallons) / 3

Vc = 40 gallons

 

Answer:

<span>Capacity of the fish tank is 40 gallons</span>

Dafna11 [192]
If the backpack (b) contains only textbooks (t) and notebooks (n), the total weight of the backpack is:

b+t+n

but notebooks are 4 pounds, so actually:

b+t+4

also, the backpack weights 2 pounds, so the total weight is:

2+t+4 =t+6
 now, "Seventy percent of <span> the total weight is textbooks. ", this means that


t=70%(t+6) - this equation can be used to determine the weight of the textbooks!

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is \sqrt{18} or in simplified terms, 3\sqrt{2}
