Answer: The required value of a is $\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for variable a :

$7a-2b=5a+b~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To solve the above equation for a, we need to take terms involving a on one side of equality that that involving b on the other side.

So, from equation (i), we get

$7a-2b=5a+b\\\\\Rightarrow 7a-5a=b+2b\\\\\Rightarrow 2a=3b\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

Thus, the required value of a is $\dfrac{3}{2}b.$

I need help with adding decimals

nasty-shy [4]

When you add the decimals it’s the same as regular adding. You line up the decimals and then add all the way across and when you get to the decimal carry it down

Kim purchased white vases, red vases, and flowers to create centerpieces for an event. The flowers cost a total of $336 and each

laiz [17]

Option A:

I and III only the answers.

Solution:

Let white vases be "w" and red vases be "r".

Cost of total flower = $336

Cost of each vase = $11

Total cost of the centerpieces

= Cost of (white vases + red vases) + Cost of flowers

= 11(w + r) + 336

= 11w + 11r + 336

Total cost of the centerpieces = 11w + 11r + 336 = 11(w + r) + 336

Therefore I and III only the answers.

Option A is the correct answer.

The line with x-intercept of 10 and y- intercept of -2.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ = x- intercept (10, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = y- intercept (0, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2-0}{0-10}$ = $\frac{-2}{-10}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

The y- intercept c = - 2

y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x - 2 ← equation of line

What would be the concentration if we were to mix 200g of 10% sugar solution and 300g of 20% sugar solution?

Firdavs [7]

+ 200g of 10% sugar solution: there is 200*10%= 20 g
+ 300g of 20% sugar solution: 300*20%= 60 g
The total of sugar: 20+60= 80g
And The concentration is 80:(200+300)= 80:500= 16%
