We have 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze.

How much 70% antifreeze do we add to get 60% antifreeze?

We'll make "x" the gallons of 70% we must add.

.20 * 60 + .70 x = .60 * (60 + x)

12 + .70x = 36 + .60x

.10x = 24

x = 240 gallons of 70% antifreeze.

Buns,cost 40p each. Cakes cost 55p each. I spend exactly £4.35 on buns and cakes.
horsena [70]

By solving a linear equation, we conclude that you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

<h3>How many of each did I buy?</h3>

We will define the two variables:

  • x = number of buns bought.
  • y = number of cakes bought.

We know that you spent exactly £4.35, then we only need to solve the linear equation:

x*0.40 + y*0.55 = 4.35

We need to solve that equation for x and y, such that the values of x and y can only be positive whole numbers.

We can rewrite the equation as:

y*0.55 = 4.35 - x*0.40

y = (4.35 - x*0.40)/0.55

Now we only need to evaluate it in different values of x, and see for which value of x, the outcome y is also a whole number.

We will see that for x = 4, we have:

y = (4.35 - 4*0.40)/0.55 = 5

So you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

What is the domain for math?
Serggg [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable. In plain English, this definition means: The domain is the set of all possible x-values which will make the function "work", and will output real y-values.

Find a container that you think holds more than 1 liter. Use a marked liter container to measure the capacity of the container y
aleksley [76]
You would have to get the container and put water in it but the container has to hold more than 1 liter so   you would see where the water is at the measured point.
