.125 is the answer to that question
Answer:
-10/-5= 2 simply divide
2 negatives multiplied and/ or divided by is a positive number
I'm working on the same thing right now and I'm using every resource in my hands right now to find a solution. I will edit this post when I have more. If you need any more help I have completed the previous activity and most of this one.
EDIT:
Ok so I checked with somebody who is pretty good with math and they said that 5x=5x would be right. Not too sure but that's what I'm putting.
I put EVERYTHING for this assignment in comments down below. Geez all of this for 5 freakin points.
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
We can calculate using cosinus method in triangle
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos c
Plug in the number to the formula
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos c
c² = 10² + 8² - 2(10)(8) cos 105°
c² = 100 + 64 - 160 cos 105°
c² = 164 - 160 (-0.26)
c² = 164 + 41.6
c² = 205.6
c = √205.6
c =14.34
C is 14.34 unit length
