From the given scenario in this item, we can say that the sum of x and y is 500. By the aluminum balance, the equation that we can formulate from this,
                            0.25x + 0.40y = (500)(0.35)
The system of linear equations that can best express the given is,
                                   x + y = 500
                                0.25x + 0.40y = 175

salantis [7]

Answer:

2 / 3 loads

Step-by-step explanation:

From. The plot, we can conclude that, the detergent that has the most bottles is that with 5 ; the number of cups in the detergent with 5 bottles is 12 cups

Number of cups used for each load of laundry = 18 cups

The loads of laundry Eric can do is thus :

Number of cups of detergent / number of cups used for each load of laundry

= 12 / 18

= 2 / 3 loads

Describe how a statistical question yields an answer with variability. Give a example.
solniwko [45]
Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.

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
asambeis [7]

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
