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

2. Find mzR and mzS.<br> 89°<br> R<br> 157 T<br> Р
baherus [9]

Answer:

m∠R = 123°

m∠S = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle is 1/2 the measure of the intercepted arc

m of arc QRS = 2 m∠P = 2(57) = 114

Now m of arc SPQ = 360 - 114 = 246

So, m∠R = 1/2(246) = 123

m of arc RSP = 2 m∠Q = 2(89) = 178

m of arc PQR = 360 - 178 = 182

m∠S = 1/2(182) = 91

HELPPPP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!
viktelen [127]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 intersecting chords, then

The product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

27x = 9 × 21 = 189 ( divide both sides by 27 )

x = 7
