Step-by-step explanation:

28-12=16

16/4=4

28-4=24

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200. after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes 1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

Answer from: Quest

answer: a video game has three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and expert. the game's scoring works in such a way that a player has to score a fixed number of points to advance to the next level, and then the scoring starts over. the total score needed to clear all three difficulty levels is 7,500. two times the number of points needed to clear the easy level is 500 more than the number of points needed to clear the medium level. twice the number of points needed to clear the medium difficulty level is 1,500 more than the number of points needed to clear the expert level. if x, y, and z represent the easy, medium, and expert levels, respectively, and a is the coefficient matrix of the system of equations modeling this situation, identify the inverse matrix, a-1, and the solution matrix, x, of the system of equations.
