Arocket has 360 gallons of fuel left after 2 hours of flight, and only 100 gallons after 6 hours of flight. it burns n gallons of fuel for every hour of flight, where n is a constant. what is the value of n?

Between 2 hours and 6 hours, 4 hours passed. In these 4 hours, the rocket burned (360-100=260) gallons of fuel. 260/4=65.

65=n

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
