A local car wash is open 8 hours each day. It uses 1/3 of a container of wax for each car. The car wash waxes an average of 8 1/2 cars per hour. How many containers of wax does the car wash use in 1 day?

22.67 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cars washed is the average by the total hours worked:

Given that each car uses 1/3 tin of wax, the total containers is calculated as:

Hence, the car wash uses 22.67 containers of wax per day.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
