First off, let's change the format of the percentage to decimal.. so 35% is just 35/100 or 0.35 and 40% is 40/100 or 0.4 and so on.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{35\% sol'n}&x&0.35&0.35x\\
\textit{40\% sol'n}&10&0.40&4.00\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&y&0.37&0.37y
\end{array}

now, whatever "x" amount is, we know that x + 10 must add up to "y". x + 10 =  y, because both quantities added will give the mixture amount.

and whatever 0.35x + 4 = 0.37y, because both concentrated amounts must give the 37% of the mixture.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+10=\boxed{y}\\
0.35x+4=0.37y\\
----------\\
0.35x+4=0.37\left( \boxed{x+10} \right)
\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how much of the 35% solution will be needed.

what about "y"? well, x + 10 = y.

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000
ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

<em>Find the value of k</em>

For the point (4,2268)

k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

so

The linear equation is

y=567x

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The  point  (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours

Five people each write a positive integer on a piece of paper. If the average of these five integers is 8, what is the greatest
erik [133]

Answer:

Option D. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------>the greatest possible value  

we know that

If four people write the number zero, then the average will be

8=(0+0+0+0+x)/5\\ \\40=0+x\\ \\x=40
