A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 65% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 90% pure anti

freeze. In
order to obtain 120 gallons of a mixture that contains 80% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

With amounts measured in gallons, let

x = amount of 65% antifreeze

y = amount of 90% antifreeze

1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.

To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have

x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]

0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]

Solve the first equation for y :

y = 120 - x

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :

0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96

0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96

0.25x = 12

x = 48

Solve for y :

y = 120 - 48

y = 72

Answer:

<h2>x = 9/17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7x-1)=4x+6  distribute

21x - 3 = 4x + 6  combine similar terms

21x - 4x = 6 + 3  simplify

17x = 9

x = 9/17

What is the hyperbola 25x^2-100y-9y^2-90x-350=0 in standard form?
sergij07 [2.7K]
WE need to complete the square on the x and y terms:-

25x^2 - 100x - 9y^2 - 90y = 350
25(x^2 - 4x +    ) - 9(y^2 + 10x       )  =   350 + 25(  )  - 9(  )
25(x^2 - 4x  + 4 ) - 9(y^2 + 10x  + 25)  = 350  + 25(4)  - 9(25)
25(x - 2)^2 - 9(y + 5)^2 = 

25(x - 2)^2   -  9(y + 5)^2          =  225
----------------    --------------            --------
    225                 225                    225

  ( x  - 2)^2         (y + 5)^2  
  -------------   -   --------------  =    1         Answer
        9                    25
