3 0

Remark

The total number of items bought is represented by 2 + 3 = 5. So for pencils to pencils + pens his ratio of pencils to total is  3/5

Equation

3/5 = 21 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 5 * 21

3x = 105

x = 105/3

x = 35

Conclusion

The total number of pens and pencils that he bought was 35 <<< Answer.

Note

He bought 35 - 21 = 14 pens. That should be 2/5 of the total.

Check

2/5 * 35 = 70/5 = 14 So it checks.

A chemical flows into a storage tank at a rate of (180+3t) liters per minute, where t is the time in minutes and 0&lt;=t&lt;=60
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The amount of the chemical flows into the tank during the firs 20 minutes is 4200 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A chemical flows into a storage tank at a rate of (180+3t) liters per minute,

Let c(t) is the amount of chemical in the take at <em>t </em>time.

Now find the rate of change of chemical flow during the first 20 minutes.

\int\limits^{20}_{0} {c'(t)} \, dt =\int\limits^{20}_0 {(180+3t)} \, dt

\int\limits^{20}_{0} {c'(t)} \, dt =\left[180t+\dfrac{3}{2}t^2\right]^{20}_0

\int\limits^{20}_{0} {c'(t)} \, dt =3600+600

\int\limits^{20}_{0} {c'(t)} \, dt =4200

So, the amount of the chemical flows into the tank during the firs 20 minutes is 4200 liters.

If you have 20 coins worth $1.35, and you only have nickels and dimes, how many do you have of each coin?
ankoles [38]
N + d = 20....n = 20 - d
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.35

0.05(20 - d) + 0.10n = 1.35
1 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 1.35
-0.05d + 0.10d = 1.35 - 1
0.05d = 0.35
d = 0.35/0.05
d = 7 <==== 7 dimes

n + d = 20
n + 7 = 20
n = 20 - 7
n = 13 <=== 13 nickels

Goshia [24]
Y = mx+b (slope intercept form). I imagine the point is (2,2) and m = 0. So the answer is y = 2. A sketch would be a horizontal line on the x-y plane going through (2,2).
