A chemist has 100 g of a 15% saline solution that she wants to strengthen to 29%. The percentage P of salt in the solution by ma

ss can be modeled by P(x) =
100(15 + x)/
100 + x
, where x is the number of grams of salt added.

Answer:

D., x= 19.7 or ≈20. g

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

When 0 g additional salt is added, x=0. we have

P(0) = [100(15+0)]/(100+0)= 15

x=0, P=15

We can see this point only on the graph D.

P(x) =29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29(100+x) = 100(15+x)

2900+29x = 1500+100x

2900-1500=100x-29x

1400 = 71x

x ≈ 19.7 g  or ≈20. g

From the graph D, we can see that to get 29% we need to add ≈ 20 g of salt.

the width of a rectangle is 3 units less than the length. if the area is 130 square units, then find the dimensions of the recta
Basile [38]

Answer:

Length = 10

Width = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of a rectangle is 3 units less than the length and if the area is 130 square units, the length is 10 units and the width is 13 units.

Formula: A=wl

Therefore, you have to find what two numbers multiply together in order to recieve 130 units.

A=wl=13·10=130

Angle DEB is 42. State the size of angle ABD
Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer would be 80 ° because 5×( 2 + 13 or x +1 ) is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

ABD is 80°

If DEB is 42 °

∠ ABD = 5(2X+1)

∠ DBC = 3X+6

∠ EBC = Y +135/2

∠ ABD and ∠ DBC are linear pairs

∴ ∠ ABD +∠ DBC = 180

∴ 5(2X+1) + 3X+6 =180

solve for x

∴ x = 13

∴∠ ABD = 5(2X+1) = 5(2*13+1) = 135

 ∠ DBC = 3x+6  = 3*13+6 = 45

∠ ABD  and ∠ EBC are vertical angles

∴ ∠ ABD = ∠ EBC = 135

∴ y +135/2 = 135

∴ y = 135/2

HELP!!! (x+3)²+8=72 (quadratic equation)
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

x = 5 or x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)²+8=72

x² + 6x + 9 + 8 = 72

x² + 6x -55 = 0

(x - 5) (x + 11) = 0

x = 5 or x = -11
