of each solution should the chemist use?

X=amount of 13% acid solution
50-x=amount of 18% acid solution (cuz they add up to 50 mL)
to find the number of millimeters of solution needed, find their acid concentrations and use those to find the volume of solution:
x*0.13 + (50-x)*0.18 = 50*0.16
expand and simplify:
0.13x-0.18x+9=8
-0.05x+9=8
-0.05x=-1
0.05x=1
x=20 mL of 13% solution
50-x=30 mL of 18% solution

Given that x = -2 - 3i and y = 4 + 2i , Match The Expressions.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$3y-2x=16+12i$

$-3x \cdot y=6+48i$

$x \cdot 2y=-4-32i$

$x-y=-6-5i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x=-2-3i$

$y=4+2i$

---

1st problem:

$3y-2x$

$3(4+2i)-2(-2-3i)$

Distribute:

$12+6i+4+6i$

Combine like terms:

$16+12i$

---

2nd problem:

$-3x \cdot y$

$-3(-2-3i) cdot (4+2i)$

$-3(-2-3i)(4+2i)$

Distribute -3 to first factor:

$(6+9i)(4+2i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$24+12i+36i+18i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$24+48i-18$

Combine like terms:

$6+48i$

---

3rd problem:

$x \cdot 2y$

$(-2-3i) \cdot 2(4+2i)$

Distribute 2 to the second factor:

$(-2-3i) \cdot (8+4i)$

$(-2-3i)(8+4i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$-16-8i-24i-12i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$-16-32i+12$

Combine like terms:

$-4-32i$

----

4th problem:

$(-2-3i)-(4+2i)$

Distribute:

$-2-3i-4-2i$

Combine like terms:

$-2-4-3i-2i$

Simplify:

$-6-5i$

Answer:

a. E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
b. A ∩ B = {2, 3}
c. A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate the designated space on the diagram and list all the numbers in it.

a. E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} . . . . all numbers in the rectangle

__

b. A ∩ B = {2, 3} . . . . where the circles overlap

__

c. A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8} . . . . only 6 is outside the circles
