How many gallons of 30% alcohol solution and how many of 60% alcohol solution must be mixed to produce 18 gallons of 50% solution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = liters of 30% alcohol

y = liters of 60% alcohol

There are two unknowns, we need two equations

x + y = 18. (1)

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y) (2)

From (1)

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

Substitute the value of y into (2) and solve for x:

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y)

0.30x + 0.60(18-x) = 0.50(x+18-x)

0.30x + 10.8 - 0.60x = 0.50(18)

10.8 - 0.30x = 9

-0.30x = -1.8

Divide both sides by -0.30

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

Substitute x=6 into (1) and solve for y:

x + y = 18

6 + y = 18

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

7. Verify the following: i) (ab + bc) (ab – bc) + (bc + ca) (bc – ca) + (ca + ab) (ca – ab) = 0 ii) (a + b + c) (a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca) = a³ + b³+ c³ – 3abc iii) (p – q) (p² + pq + q²) = p³ – q³. EXPLAIN

Answers

1. (ab + bc) (ab – bc) + (bc + ca) (bc – ca) + (ca + ab) (ca – ab) = 0

We know that (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²

(ab + bc)(ab -bc) can be written as b² - c²

(bc + ca)(bc -ca) can be written as c² - a²

(ca + ab)(ca - ab) can be written as a² - b²

a²b² - b²c² + b²c² - c²a² + c²a² - a²b²

→ a²b² - a²b² - b²c² + b²c² - c²a² + c²a²

→ 0

2. (a + b + c) (a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca) = a³ + b³+ c³ – 3abc

→ a³ + ab² + ac² -a²b - abc -ca² + a²b + b³ + bc² - ab² - b²c - abc + a²c + b²c + c³ - abc - bc² - c²a

→ a³ + b³+ c³ + (- abc - abc - abc) + (ab² - ab² )+ (ac² - ca² ) -(a²b + a²b )+ (bc² - bc² )+ (a²c - c²a) + (b²c - b²c)

→ a³+b³+c³ - 3 abc .

3. (p – q) (p² + pq + q²) = p³ – q³.

→ p³ + p²q + pq² - p²q - pq² - q³

→ p³ - q³ +(p²q - p²q) + (pq² - pq²)

→ p³ - q³

Write an expression in simplified form for the area of each rectangle. Width: 7 Length: 5n-9

Answers

Answer:

35n - 63

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by

A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width

A = 7(5n-9)

Distribute

A = 35n - 63

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

Length is 5n-9

Width is 7

⇛Area = 5n-9(7)

⇛Area = 33n - 63

The drama club is selling tickets to its play. An adult ticket costs $15 and a student ticket costs $11. The auditorium will seat 300 ticket-holders. The drama club wants to collect at least $3630 from ticket sales.

Answers

Answer:

83 adult tickets and 217 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of adult tickets sold = [tex]x[/tex]

Given that total number of tickets = 300

So, number of student tickets = 300 - [tex]x[/tex]

Cost of adult ticket = $15

Cost of student ticket = $11

Total collection from adult tickets = $[tex]15x[/tex]

Total collection from student tickets =  [tex](300-x)\times 11 = 3300-11x[/tex]

Given that overall collection = $3630

[tex]15x+(3300-11x) = 3630\\\Rightarrow 15x-11x=3630-3300\\\Rightarrow 4x = 330\\\Rightarrow x = 82.5[/tex]

So, for atleast $3630 collection, there should be 83 adult tickets and (300-83 = 217 student tickets.

Now , collection = $3632

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = - \frac{1}{10} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

23x +2 = 15x+48x+6

To solve for x group like terms

That's

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

We have

23x - 15x - 48x = 6 - 2

Simplify

- 40x = 4

Divide both sides by -40

[tex] \frac{ - 40x}{ - 40} = \frac{4}{ - 40} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]x = - \frac{1}{10} [/tex]

Hope this helps you

If you simplify both sides, it shows that 23x+2=63x+6. If you cancel out the x, it shows that 2=40x+6. If you cancel out the numbers it shows that -4=40x. Divide all sides to show that -1/10=x.

A consultant charges $45 for each hour she works on a consultation, plus a flat $30
consulting fee. How many hours of work are included in a $210 bill for a consultation?
A. 2 4/5
B. 4
c. 4 2/3
D. 5 1 / 2
E. 7

Answers

Answer:

A. 2 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many hours she worked for $210, you must get the amount of money she gets in 1 hour.

Because she charges $43 dollars every hour, and fines a fee of $30 flat, we must add both of the amount to get how many she earns in 1 hour.

So:

$45 + $30= $75

She earn $75 in 1 hour.

Next, divide $210 dollars that she earned for working for hour(s) to the amount of money she earned in 1 hour to find how many hours she worked.

So:

$210 ÷ $75= 2.8 hours

The answer is 2.8 hours

Because the given answers is in fraction, we must change the decimal into a fraction.

To change a decimal into a fraction, you must place the decimal over its place value.

Because 8 in the decimal 2.8 is in the tenths place, you must place it over 10

So:

2.8 into a decimal is 2 8/10

Simplify (only simplify if possible):

Divide 8 and 10 to their GCF which is 2.

So:

8 ÷ 2= 4

10 ÷ 2= 5

So the fraction and the answer is now:

2 4/5

What are the solutions to the system of equations? {y=2x2+6x−10 y=−x+5

Answers

Answer: x = -5, 3/2 y = 10, 7/2

Explanation:

y = 2x^2 + 6x - 10 (1)
y = - x + 5 (2)

=> 2x^2 + 6x - 10 = - x + 5
2x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
(2x - 3)(x + 5) = 0
=> 2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2
=> x + 5 = 0
x = -5

According to (2):

y = -x + 5
y = -(-5) + 5
y = 5 + 5 = 10

y = -x + 5
y = -(3/2) + 5
y = -(3/2) + 10/2
y = 7/2

Answer:

I think this is mistake because y=2x^2+6x-10 y=x+5 this is the right
