Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

<h3>How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>

First, we need to define the variables:

  • x = liters of the 35% acid used.
  • y = liters of the 80% acid used.

We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:

x + y = 60

x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65

(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).

To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:

x = 60 - y

Replacing that in the other equation:

(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65

y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)

y*0.45 = 60*0.30

y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40

So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

The sum of the ages of Kristen and Ben is 32. Four years ago Kristen was twice as old as Ben. How old are they both now?
Elan Coil [88]

Let us say that:

K = age of Kristen

B = age of Ben

 

From the problem, we make the equations:

eqtn 1: K + B = 32

eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)

 

Simplifying eqtn 2:

K – 4 = 2 B – 8

K = 2 B – 4

 

Plugging in this to eqtn 2:

(2 B – 4) + B = 32

3 B – 4 = 32

3 B = 36

B = 12

 

From eqtn 2:

K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20

 

So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.

Bessie bought 10 gallons of Bush's Sweet Tea for a family reunion. How many liters did Bessie buy?
RUDIKE [14]

1 gallon = 3.78541 liters.

Multiply the number of gallons by 3.78541:

10 x 3.78541 = 37.8541 liters (round the answer as needed)

What is the amplitude of this graph?
Alexxandr [17]
<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

The lowest point has a y coordinate of 2. The highest point has a y coordinate of 6. The difference is 6-2 = 4. Cut this in half to get 4/2 = 2 which is the amplitude. This is the vertical distance from the midline (y = 4) to either the peak point or the valley point.

The standard form of a quadratic function is y = ax 2 + bx + c. where a, b and c are real numbers, and a ≠ 0. Using Vertex Form to Derive Standard Form. Write the vertex form of a quadratic function. y = a(x - h) 2 + k. Square the binomial. y = a(x 2 - 2xh + h 2) + k. y = ax 2 - 2ahx + ah 2 + k
