"Bucket method"
.. (4)*(14%) + (x)*(8%) = (4 +x)*(10%) . . . . . liters and % are in each "bucket"
.. 56 +8x = 40 +10x . . . . . multiply by 100, eliminate parentheses
.. 16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -40-8x, then divide by 2
.. 8 = x
8 liters of 8% lemonade should be added to make the mixture 10% lemon juice.
Answer:
3x was subtracted from the left side, but 3x was subtracted from the right side. The Subtract Property of Equality states that you can subtract the same number from each side and the equation will remain true. But 3x and 3 are not the same number (unless x is 1).
x = -8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.
Answer:
21 kWh
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 25% from the original amount.
25% of 28 kWh is ...
0.25 × 28 kWh = 7.00 kWh
Subtracting this from 28 kWh, we find the usage after reduction to be ...
28 kWh - 7 kWh = 21 kWh
__
2. We know that if we reduce 100% of a quantity by 25%, then the resulting amount is (100 -25)% = 75% of the original. As a fraction, this is 75/100 = 3/4 of the original amount. Then the reduced usage is ...
(3/4) × (28 kWh) = 3·(7·4)/4 kWh = 3·7 kWh = 21 kWh
__
Mario must reduce his usage to 21 kWh or less.
The 2 in 324 represents the number 20 out of 300 and 4. With decimal in front, the 2 now represents hundredths of 1.
As they are written, they are all linear. I think you meant for the third one to be y=x^2. if that is true then y=x^2 is a quadratic and therefore is the answer
