A water tank holds 880 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 1,100 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 9 gallons per week. After how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same?

62 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need is to represent the ratios in expression

For example if we have 992 gallons and the leaking is 5 gallons per week, the expression for the gallons after every week is

992-5x

x is the weeks

And the other case the expressions is

1240-9x

The question is the weeks for the amount being the same, then every equation can be equal to Y and it represent the same amount

992-5x=y

1240-9x=y

in both the y is the same, then

992-5x=1240-9x

992-1240=-9x+5x

-248=-4x

-248/-4=x

62=X

and that is the weeks we need for the amount being the same in both tanks

62 weeks correct me if i'm wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
