Answer:

5 gallons of water must be added.

10 gallons to start with

adding 'x' gallons of water      final volume = 10 + x

.9 (10) = amount of vinegar

.1(10) = amount of water

amount of vinegar before and after water addition is constant

.9(10) = .6(10+x)  

9 = 6 + .6x

3 = .6x

x = 5 gallons of water to be added

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

-1/4x² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Path of sprinkler is modeled by the quadratic function :

w(x) = -1/4(x^2 -12 )

w(x) = height of the water, in meters, at position x

The height of ceiling as a constant or Coefficient = w(x)

Expanding w(x)

-1/4(x^2 -12 )

-1/4 * x² + 1/4 * 12

-1/4x² + 3

The height of ceiling is -1/4x² + 3

what is the answer to the volleyball team at blue point high school has saved $680 and the team plans to spend no more then that
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

6 x + 23 y  < $ 680  represents the combinations of x balls and y nets that can be purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of balls than can be purchased  = x

The number of nets than can be purchased  = y

Total savings  = $ 680

Now, the cost of 1 ball =$6

So, the cost of x balls = x ( cost of 1 ball) = x ( $6)  = 6 x

Also, the cost of 1 net =$23

So, the cost of y nets = y ( cost of 1 net = y ( $23)  = 23 y

So, the total amount spent on x balls  and y nets

= Amount spent on x balls + Amount on y nets

=  6 x + 23 y

Also, the saved amount is $680

⇒<u> 6 x + 23 y  < $ 680</u>

Hence, 6 x + 23 y  < $ 680  represents the combinations of x balls and y nets that can be purchased.
