Y = kx

(i) 8 = k(-6)
     k = -4/3
=> equation : y=(-4/3)x

 (ii) y = (-4/3)(-2)
      y= 8/3

You are making a new type of deodorant from two different mixtures the first mixture is 30% smell proof and the second mixture i
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

600 L of 30% proof and 400 L of 80% proof is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of 30% smell proof be x while that of 80% smell proof is y

Then;

x + y = 1000 •••••(i)

Also;

30% of x + 80% of y = 50% of 1000

0.3x + 0.8y = 500 •••••(ii)

From i, x = 1000 - y

Put this into ii

0.3(1000-y) + 0.8y = 500

300 - 0.3y + 0.8y = 500

0.5y = 500-300

0.5y = 200

y = 200/0.5

y = 400 L

But x = 1000 - y

x = 1000 - 400 = 600 L

X subtract 9 equals 3 / 5X
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x-9=\frac{3}{5}x

  • First, lets get rid of the fraction. I did this by multiplying both sides by 5.

5(x-9)=5(\frac{3}{5}x)\\5x-45=\frac{5}{1} *\frac{3}{5}x\\5x-45=\frac{15}{5}x\\5x-45=3x

  • We want to isolate x on one side of this equation. Let's put any values with x on one side of the equation, and normal integers on the other.

2x=45

  • Divide both sides by 2.

x=\frac{45}{2}

  • If your teacher wants you to leave your final answer as an improper fraction, your final answer is this. If they want it to be a mixed number or decimal, your final answer will be:

x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5

A building has a shadow that is 25 feet long. A person 6 feet tall cast a similar shadow. How long is the person's shadow?
mario62 [17]
Imagine the side of the building is one side to a triangle and the second would be from the top of the building to the point where the shadow ends and the third is from the base of the building to the point where the shadow ends. Just use the pythagoreon theorem to find stuff. I can't solve the problem you gave because you would need the height of the building
