You need to add 2 L of the 75% mixture to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze.

<h3>What is an antifreeze?</h3>

Anti freeze is a substance that is added in order to prevent a liquid from freezing. An antifreeze is usually an ionic substances that is used during the winter to prevent the freezing of a liquid.

Now;

Forming the equation;

0.75*x+0.5*3=0.6(3+x)

Hence;

0.75*x+1.5=1.8+0.6x

Therefore;

0.75x-0.6x=1.8-1.5

We obtain;

0.15x=0.3

Then;

x=2L

Lunna [17]

The contrapositive statement are:

If the lake is frozen, then it isn't cold.
If Solomon is happy, then he isn't healthy.
If Tigist does not take a walk, then it will not rain

<h3>What is the converse statement?</h3>

The converse statement are:

If the late is frozen, then it is cold.
If Solomon is happy, then he is healthy.
If Tigist Tigist does not take a walk, then it will rain.

Note that the converse of a statement is created by the act of switching the hypothesis given and also the conclusion.

Therefore, The contrapositive statement are

If the lake is frozen, then it isn't cold.

Paul has 12 coins in his pocket, consisting entirely of dimes and quarters. If he has a total of 195 cents in coins, how many co

anyanavicka [17]

Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

The expression (x^22) (x^7)^3 is equivalent to x^p. What is the value of p?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x^87

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying x^22 and x^7 results in x^29.

Then we have:

(x^29)^3 = x^87

Recall that (a^b)^c = a^(bc) and that a^b*a^c = a^(b + c)

The general form of a circle is given as x^2+y^2+4x - 12y + 4 = 0. A) What are the coordinates of the center of the circle? B) W

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

center = (-2, 6)

radius = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a circle</u>

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

(where (a, b) is the center and r is the radius)

Therefore, we need to rewrite the given equation into the standard form of an equation of a circle.

Given equation:

$x^2+y^2+4x-12y+4=0$

Collect like terms and subtract 4 from both sides:

$\implies x^2+4x+y^2-12y=-4$

Complete the square for both variables by adding the square of half of the coefficient of $x$ and $y$ to both sides:

$\implies x^2+4x+\left(\dfrac{4}{2}\right)^2+y^2-12y+\left(\dfrac{-12}{2}\right)^2=-4+\left(\dfrac{4}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{-12}{2}\right)^2$

$\implies x^2+4x+4+y^2-12y+36=-4+4+36$

Factor both variables:

$\implies (x+2)^2+(y-6)^2=36$

Therefore:

center = (-2, 6)
radius = √36 = 6
