Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 5 liters of natural oil for every 8 liters of synthetic oil. In order to make 884liters of Petrolyn oil, how many liters of natural oil are needed?

9514 1404 393

  340

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of natural to synthetic is give as ...

  5 : 8

Then the ratio of natural to total would be ...

  5 : (5+8) = 5 : 13

The amount of natural oil in 884 total liters of oil will be ...

  (5/13)(884 L) = 340 L

884 liters of Petrolyn oil will contain 340 liters of natural oil.

by definition, an arc subtended by a central angle of some given measure has the same measure. so .

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
