If x < 5, then which of the following must be true?-x < -5
-x > -5
-x < 5
-x > 5

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If x > 5, than it stands to reason that -x < 5. Say x is 17. 17 > 5, that is true, but when you add a negative in front of 17, it becomes -17 > 5, which is not true, but -17 < 5 is. The third answer choice is correct.

12 gallons of water fill a tank to 3/4 capicity. What is the capicity of the tank? If the tank is then filled to capicity, how many half-gallons bottles can be filled with the water in the tank?

Answers

Answer:

The total capacity of the tank  = 16 gallons

32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total capacity of the tank = K gallons

Now here, according to the question

3/4 capacity  of the tank = 12 gallons

(3)/(4)  * K = 12\norK = 12 * (4)/(3)

or, K = 16 Gallons

So, the total capacity of the tank is 16 gallons.

Now, capacity of 1 bottle =  0.5 gallon= (1/2) gallon

So, number of bottles filled = Capacity of each bottle x Total capacity of tank

n = 0.5 gallon x 16 gallons = 32 bottles

Hence, 32 bottles can be filled with the water in the tank.
