X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice
x+y=5L
y=5L - x
x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:
0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6
0.05x=0.1L
x=2L
so y = 3L
so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.

9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
∠a = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of ∠a = x
The measure of ∠b = 4x-30
It is also mentioned that the measure a and measure b are vertical angles. We need to find the value of a.
For vertically opposite angles,
∠a = ∠b
x = 4x-30
or
4x-30=x
Taking like terms together,
4x-x= 30
3x = 30
x = 10
So, the meausre of ∠a is equal to 10°.
