Answer:

to make 1000 gallons with 10% alcohol, we need 714.3 gallons of mixture that contains 5% alcohol and 285,7 gallons of mixture that contains 12% alcohol.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, there are two mixtures. One mixture contains 5% alcohol and the other contains 12% alcohol.

We want to make 1000 gallons with 10% alcohol, so we have the following system of equations:

A + B = 1000 gallons. [1]

0.05A + 0.12B = 0.1(1000) ⇒ 0.05A + 0.12B = 100 [2]

(Where 'A' represents the mixture that contains 5% alcohol and 'B' the one that contains 12% alcohol).

Solving the system of equations:

A + B = 1000 ⇒ A = 1000 - B [3]

[3] → [2]

0.05(1000 - B) + 0.12B = 100 ⇒ 50 - 0.05B + 0.12B = 100

⇒ 0.07B = 50 ⇒ B = 714.28 ≈ B=714.3 [4]

[4] → [1]

A + B = 1000 ⇒ A + 714.3 = 1000 ⇒ A = 285,7

Therefore, to make 1000 gallons with 10% alcohol, we need 714.3 gallons of mixture 'A' and 285,7 gallons of mixture 'B'

15. find the values of x and y
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

y = 8

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x first. Since there is a straight line, we can conclude it's equal to 180 degrees.

11x + 10 -61 = 180

Add 10 to negative 61.

11x - 51 = 180

Add 51 to both sides.

11x = 231

Divide 11 both sides

x = 21.

Now put x in the equations to solve.

This is for the small angle on the right side.

(21+10) = 31

This is for the big angle on the right side.

(10(21) - 61)

210 - 61 = 149.

Now for the other side, we know the degree for the smaller side on the left side since it's a vertical angle.

31 degrees for top left angle. Since we know this side is 180 just subtract 31 from 180 and you'll get 149.

18y + 5 = 149

Subtract 5 both sides.

18y = 144

y = 8.

The age of father is a two digit number. If 5 is added to the double of the digit in the tenth place of father's age will be the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The father is 50 and his son is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Double the tens digit of the father's age = 10

Plus 5 = 15 (the age of the son)

50 + 15 = 65 (the sum of their ages)

The reverse of the digits of the son's age is 51.

Subtract 1 = 50 (the age of the father)
