Answer:

  • 64 gallons 30%
  • 96 gallons 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of each brand can be found by writing and solving an equation that makes use of the given relations.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the quantity of 55% pure antifreeze needed in the mixture. Then the quantity of the 30% brand is (160-x). The amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture is ...

  0.55x +0.30(160 -x) = 0.45(160)

<h3>Solution</h3>

Subtracting 0.30(160), we have ...

  x(0.55 -0.30) = 160(0.45 -0.30)

  x = 24/0.25 = 96 . . . . . simplify, divide by the coefficient of x

96 gallons of the 55% brand, and 64 gallons of the 30% brand must be used.

In a circle whose radius is 12, find the area of sector, in terms of , whose central angle
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

56.52 units² or 18π units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a sector is:

A = πr²(x/360°)

where r is the radius and x is the measure of the central angle

Let's substitute the given measures into this equation:

A = πr²(x/360°)

A = (3.14)(12²)(45/360)

Solve:

A = (3.14)(12²)(45/360)

A = (3.14)(144)(45/360)

A = (452.16)(45/360)

A = (452.16)(.125)

A = 56.52

Therefore, the area of the sector is 56.52 units² or 18π units²

The perimeter of a rectangle is 128 inches.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Considering the perimeter of the rectangle, we have that the length is of 9 inches and the width is of 55 inches.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a rectangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given as follows:

P = 2(l + w).

The length is an odd integer and the width is <u>5 times the next consecutive odd integer,</u> hence:

l = x, w = 5(x + 2).

The perimeter is of 128 inches, hence:

128 = 2l + 2w

128 = 2x + 10(x + 2)

128 = 2x + 10x + 20

12x = 108

x = 9.

Hence the length is of 9 inches and the width is of 55 inches.

I must assume that your graph is that of a straight line, and that the end points of the line are P and B, and (finally) that T is between P and B.  If these assumptions are correct, then the length of the line segment PB connecting points P and B is 15 + 10, or 25.

Find the equation of a line parallel to −5x+y=2 that contains the point (5,−2). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

L2: y-0 = 5/2(x-5)

y = 5/2x-25/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slopes.

Line 1,   L1:  5x-2y=20   is in standard form Ax+By=C therefore slope m1= -A/B = -5/-2 = 5/2 or you can solve it for y so you will have the equation in slope-intercept form.

5x-2y = 20

-2y = -5x+20

y = (-5/-2)x+20/(-2)

y = (5/2)x-10 hence m1=5/2 and y-intercept is -10

Line 2 , L2:   y-y1 = m (x-x1),  m=m2=m1=5/2

Point p(5,0) or p(x1,y1) therefore x1=5 , y1=0 and m=5/2

L2: y-0 = 5/2(x-5)

y = 5/2x-25/2
