Algebra.Com's Answer #584363 by macston(5194) You can put this solution on YOUR website! PROBLEM 1): Two tanks \n" ); document.write( "T=capacity of smaller tank \n" ); document.write( "T+2T+6=51 gallons Subtract 6 from each side. \n" ); document.write( "3T=45 Divide each side by 3. \n" ); document.write( "T=15 gallons ANSWER 1: The smaller tank holds 15 gallons. \n" ); document.write( "2T+6=2(15)+6=36 gallons ANSWER 2: The larger tank holds 36 gallons \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "PROBLEM 2): Consecutive integers \n" ); document.write( "n=smallest integer; n+1=middle integer; n+2=largest integer \n" ); document.write( "n+(n+1)+(n+2)=108 \n" ); document.write( "3n+3=108 Subtract 3 from each side. \n" ); document.write( "3n=105 Divide each side by 3. \n" ); document.write( "n=35 ANSWER 1: The smallest integer is 35. \n" ); document.write( "n+1=36 ANSWER 2: The second integer is 36. \n" ); document.write( "n+2=37 ANSWER 3: The third integer is 37. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
