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.

(2,?) is on the line x + 3 = y. Find the other half of the coordinate.
Brut [27]
Sub in 2 for x and solve for y

x + 3 = y
2 + 3 = y
5 = y

so ur points are : (2,5)

What is 2 plus 2 minus 17
nataly862011 [7]

<em>The result is -13</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Here we have the following addition problem:

2+2-17

So let's solve this step by step:

Step 1. Perform two plus two.

2+2=4

So:

2+2-17=4-17

Step 2. Perform the subtraction.

Since the sign (-) accompanies 17 which is greater than 4, then we perform the subtraction and add the sign (-) to the result. So:

2+2-17=4-17=-13

<em>Finally, the result is -13</em>
