Myra is a scientist and needs 45 gallons of a 16% acid solution. The lab is currently stocked only with a 20% acid solution and

a 10% acid solution. Myra will need to mix how many gallons of the 20% solution and how many gallons of the 10% solution to have what she needs.

Answer:

The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:

x + y = 45

The concentration of acid of the final solution is:

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

Therefore we have a system of equation:

x + y = 45

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:

-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We now sum both equation:

0.1*x = 2.7

x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons

y = 45 - 27  = 18 gallons

M-(10)=-20

The answer is -10. I think about negative numbers on a number line with numbers being behind and in front of the zero. To check the answer you can imagine being on -10 and when it says to minus a number you always know that it’s going to go further into the negative. So -10-10 is -20.

Can someone please help I’m very confused
Oxana [17]

y + 6 = 4/3(x - 2)

First, distribute the 4/3

y + 6 = 4/3x - 8/3

Subtract 6 from both sides.

y = 4/3x - 26/3

-26/3 is the y-intercept so start the graph at coordinate (0, -26/3)

After you plot the y-intercept, add 4 to they y-coordinate and 3 to the x-coordinate of the y-intercept to get the next point.

0 + 3 = 3

-26/3 + 4 = -14/3

The next point should be at (3, -14/3)

Add as many points as your professor requires.

Jenny studied the characteristics of two species of bacteria. The number of bacteria of species A, A(t), after t hours is repres
fredd [130]

Answer: D . N(t) = 3 + (0.25t)^3 - 8(1.06)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jenny studied the characteristics of two species of bacteria. The number of bacteria of species A, A(t), after t hours is represented by the function,

A(t) = 5 + (0.25t)^3

The number of bacteria of species B, B(t), after t hours is represented by the function, B(t) = 2 + 8(1.06)^t

Then, the difference in the number of bacteria, N(t), of both the species after t hours will be :-

N(t)=A(t)-B(t)\\\\=5 + (0.25t)^3-(2 + 8(1.06)^t)\\\\=5 + (0.25t)^3-2-8(1.06)^t\\\\=5-2 +(0.25t)^3-8(1.06)^t\\\\=3+(0.25t)^3-8(1.06)^t

Hence, the correct answer should be : D . N(t) = 3 + (0.25t)^3 - 8(1.06)^t

Josh is hiking glacier national park. He has now hiked a total of 17km and is 2km short of being 1/2 of the way done with his hi
Alla [95]

Answer: The total length in kilometers is 38 km


Step-by-step explanation:


17 + 2 = 19 km is 1/2 of the total length, that is,


19 = (1/2)h


(1/2)h = 19 multiply both sides by 2


h = 2*19


h = 38 km
