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.

A line passes through the point (4, -6) and has a slope of 3/2 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
tatyana61 [14]

A slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y -intercept

A slope of 3/2 is given

So y = 3/2 x + b

To find b:

b = y - mx

A line passes through the point (4, -6)

b = -6 - (3/2)(4)

b = -6 - 6

b = - 12

Answer

Equation in  slope intercept form:  y = 3/2 x - 12

Use common denominators to determine whether the ratios form a proportion.
AURORKA [14]
They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges

Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges

So having 9 apples what is that?

2 x ? = 9

2 x 4.5 = 9

So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!

3 x 4.5 = 13.5

So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion
