Suppose x quarts of the 50% solution
0.5x+0.2*20=0.4(x+20)
0.5x+4=0.4x+8
0.1x=4
x=40

Remember

we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides

try to isolate the variable

you have 2 types
x+b=c
x/b=c

fior the first type, minus b from both sides to get
x=c-b

for the second, multiply both sides by b to get rid of the fraction to get
x=cb

also remember that -x times -1=x

b.add 25 to both sides
-a=20
multiply -1
a=-20

c.
-t/8=-4
multiply both sides by 8
-t=-32
mutiply -1
t=32

d. -n/-5=-30
mulitply both sides by -5
-n=150
multiply both sides by -1
n=-150

e. multiply both sides by 12
-l=144
multiply b y-1
l=-144

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Harman [31]

ANSWER

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

$2x + 3y = 9$

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,

$3y = - 2x + 9$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3$

The slope of this line is

$m_1 = - \frac{2}{3}$
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

$m_2$

Then
$m_1 \times m_2 = - 1$

$- \frac{2}{3} m_2= - 1$

This implies that,

$m_2 = - 1 \times - \frac{3}{2}$

$m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$

Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

$y = mx + b$

We substitute the slope to get,

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Since this line passes through
$(-2,5)$
it must satisfy its equation.

This means that,

$5= \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b$

$5 = - 3 + b$

$5 + 3 = b$

$b = 8$

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

Can some figure this out

NeX [460]

Hello,

As 4²+(5/2)²=22.25=89/4 (Pytagorean theorem)
Perimeter of the triangle =2*√89 /2 +5 =5+√89
Lateral area: 18*(5+√89)
Total area= 90+18√89+ 4*5/2 *2 =110+18√89 ≈279.811..(ft²)

What is the measure of angle Q to the nearest degree?

Alla [95]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 110. Since the one leg is not on zero it's not a full 160 instead you have to subtract 50 where the leg is.
