Answer:

What is missing is -5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, simply solve for the parenthesis as if it were a variable of its own. This will allow you to see exactly what is missing.

8x - (x - 20) = 2x - (_______)

8x - x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

7x + 20 = 2x - (_______)

5x + 20 = - (_______)

-5x - 20 = (_______)

So the answer for the parenthesis is -5x - 20

How many milliequivalents of sodium chloride are contained with 3 L of normal saline?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

466mEq

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know the concentration of NaCl in a normal saline solution, this is by definition 0.9%, meaning we have 0.9g of NaCl per 100ml of solution, we want to know how much NaCl we have in 3L (3000ml):

$3000ml*\frac{0.9g}{100ml}=27g=27000mg$

So, we have 27000mg in 3L of normal saline solution.

Now, acording to our milliequivalent (mEq) equation ( $mEq=\frac{mg}{pE}$ ) where pE is de molecular mass of NaCl divided by their charges, in this case 1:

$pE= \frac{23+35}{1}=\frac{58}{1} = 58$

Finally we substitute in the mEq formula:

$mEq=\frac{mg}{pE}=\frac{27000}{58}=466mEq$

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels. She had $1.60 in all. How many nickels and how many quarters did she have?. .

Andru [333]

Let

n-------> the number of nickels

q------> the number of quarters

we know that

$1\ quarter=\$0.25\\1\ nickel=\$0.05$

$0.05n+0.25q=1.60$ ----> equation A

$q=3n$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$0.05n+0.25[3n]=1.60$

$0.05n+0.75n=1.60$

$0.80n=1.60$

$n=2$

Find the value of q

$q=3*2=6$

therefore

The answer part a) is

the number of nickels are $2$ and the number of quarters are $6$

the answer Part b) is

The expressions that represents the number of quarters is

$q=3n$

I need help ! On the question i reslly do not get it !

AlexFokin [52]

This question is basically a ratio 1 : 42

so then it would be 2 : 84 then 3 : 126

So your answer is D 3 Gallons for 126 miles.

Determine whether the fractions 3 4 and 4 5 are equivalent. Question content area bottom Part 1 Select the correct choice below

VMariaS [17]

Answer: Choice A

The fractions are not equivalent because the product of the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction is  15  , which is not equal to the product of the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction  16 

===================================================

Explanation:

We have the template $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{S}$ which cross multiplies to $PS = QR$

So if $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ was true, then $3*5 = 4*4$ must be true as well, and vice versa.

The left side 3*5 turns into 15, while the right hand side 4*4 becomes 16. The 15 and 16 don't match up.

In short, $3*5 = 4*4$ turns into $15 = 16$ which is a false statement. So the original claim that $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$ is also false.
