Answer:
slope of a line is given by -A/B
Here A=5 and B= -3
so , when we plug in the values: -(5/-3) = 5/3
five thirds lol.
<span>So we have a problem with two unknows and one equation. We have to express one over the other like this: 7a - 2b = 5a + b. First we separate one kind on the left side and the other kind on the right side: 7a - 5a = b + 2b. Then: 2a = 3b. Now we divide both sides by 2 and get: a= 3b/2.</span>
Answer:
0.59375
Step-by-step explanation:
3f(x) - f(1/x) = x^2
x = 2: 3f(2) - f(1/2) = 2^2
x = 1/2: 3f(1/2) - f(2) = (1/2)^2
Let a = f(1/2) and b = f(2):
3b - a = 4; 3a - b = 1/4
3b - 4 = a
3(3b-4) - b = 1/4
8b = 12 + 1/4
b = 1.53125
3 * 1.53125 - 4 = a
a = 0.59375
x = quarts of 30% acid solution
y = quarts of 65% solution
x + y = 175
Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So
0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25
That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.
Now solve for x and y:
x + y = 175 ==> y = 175 - x
0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25 ==> 0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25
==> 0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25
==> 17.5 = 0.35x
==> x = 50 ==> y = 125
30=5(x+1)
30÷5=6
6=x+1
6-1=5
x=5
