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

Which of the following is a factor of x2 − 8x + 15?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(x−3)(x−5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factor x2−8x+15

x2−8x+15

The middle number is -8 and the last number is 15.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get 15

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -3 and -5:

-3+-5 = -8

-3*-5 = 15

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with -3 and -5 to get...

(x-3)(x-5)

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

  8/45

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x to be the value of your fraction:

  x=0.1\overline{7}\\\\10x=1.7\overline{7}\qquad\text{multiply by 10}\\\\10x-x=1.7\overline{7}-0.1\overline{7}=1.6\\\\x=\dfrac{1.6}{9}=\dfrac{8}{45}\qquad\text{divide by 9; put in lowest terms}

____

When in doubt, you can use your calculator to see which fraction gives you 0.1777777778.

_____

We multiplied by 10^1 above, because there is 1 repeating digit. The power of 10 we use matches the number of repeating digits.
