Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

Answer:

13.

parallel: y = 1/3x -3

perpendicular: y = -3x - 3

14.

parallel: y = 4x - 1/2

perpendicular: y = -1/4x - 1/2

15.

parallel: y = -2x + 4

perpendicular: y= 1/2x + 4

16.

parallel: y = -2x-2

perpendicular: y= 1/2x-2

17.

parallel: y = -2x+8

perpendicular: y= 1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular has a negative reciprocal slope and a parallel has the same slope

Question 7 of 10<br> Choose two statements that are true for this expression.<br> 6r³ − 8x² - 40 +21
crimeas [40]

Based on the given parameters, bhe true statements are: the expression has four terms, and the term -40/y is a ratio.

<h3>How to determine the true statements?</h3>

The expression is given as:

6x^3 - 8x^2 - 40/y + 21

The above expression has four terms, and the terms are:

6x^3, - 8x^2,- 40/y and 21

Also, the term -40/y is a ratio

This is so because it is a quotient of two numbers

Hence, the true statements are: the expression has four terms, and the term -40/y is a ratio, based on the given parameters
