Answer:
a=8
b=5
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A
h²=y²+z²
10²=a²+6²
100=a²+36
∴a²=64
∴a=8
Use Pythagoras's Theorem to find A
h²=y²+z²
9²=b²+6²
81=b²+36
∴b²=45
∴b=3√5
x=a+b
=8+3√5
Answer:
-1=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 26 ounces of 55% solution
- 104 ounces of 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130
0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)
x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104
130-x = 26
She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.
