Try this:
1) note that weight of pure antifreeze before mixing and after mixing is the same. So, if 'x' is weight of pure antifreeze in 50% solution, it is possible to make up equation before mixing: 0.5x+0.2*90.
2) there are 0.2*90=18 gal. of pure antifreeze in the 20% solution. If 'x' gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 50% sol. and 18 gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 20% sol., it is possible to make up an equation after mixing: 0.4(x+18).
3) using the both parts: 0.5x+0.2*90=0.4(x+18) ⇒ x=54 gal. of <u>pure</u> weight.
4) to find 50% solution of 54 gal. pure weight just 54:0.5=108 gal.
Answer: 108 gal.

Abigail tosses a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The distance, in feet, the coin above the water is modeled by the equa
melomori [17]

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the coin above the water is modeled by the equation

y=-16x^2+96x+112

where x is time taken to cover the distance

Now equating with zero.

0=-16x^2+96x+112\\\Rightarrow 16x^2-96x-112=0\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\left(-96\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-96\right)^2-4\times \:16\left(-112\right)}}{2\times \:16}\\\Rightarrow x=7, -1

So, time taken by the coin to hit the water is 7 seconds.
