Moonshine Problem: How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100

gallons of 25% moonshine? (x = gallons of 20% moonshine; y = gallons of 30% moonshine. 20% moonshine is called 20% because 20% of any amount (like x) is PURE MOONSHINE!)​

Answer:

50 gallons 20%

50 gallons 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is gallons of 20% moonshine, and y is gallons of 30% moonshine, then:

x + y = 100

0.20x + 0.30y = 0.25(100)

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

0.20x + 0.30(100 − x) = 0.25(100)

0.20x + 30 − 0.30x = 25

5 = 0.10x

x = 50

y = 50

So when you reflect the x-axis, you change the y negative. So (x,y) would be (x,-y). so it would be (-2, -6). If you want to reflect over the y-axis, it would be   (-x, y).

Line AB contains points A (0, 1) and B (1, 5). The slope of line AB is A. -4 B. -1/4 C. 1/4 D. 4
il63 [147K]
Slope is rise over run so since it rose 4 and went 1 to the right the slope would be 4 because 4/1=4 P.S. The actual formula for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1 so it would be 5-1/1-0 which again is 4/1

In an isosceles triangle two sides are equal. The third side is two less than twice the length of the two equal sides. The perim
pogonyaev

Answer:

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides' length be "x"

Let the third side length be "y"

Third side (y) is 2 LESS THAN TWICE the equal side, so we can write:

y = 2x - 2

The perimeter is 38. The perimeters is the sum of all three sides. So we can write:

x + x + y = 38

Replacing y with 2nd equation, we have:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38

Now, we can solve this for x first:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38\\x+x+2x-2=38\\4x=38+2\\4x=40\\x=10

Now, y is:

y = 2x - 2

y = 2(10) - 2

y = 20 - 2

y = 18

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Find the length of BC.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

C, 53.68 units

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 54° = \frac{x}{39}

39 tan 54° = x

x= 53.6788949 (just plug it in a scientific or graphing calculator)

x≈53.68
