\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount(gallons)&juice&\textit{juice amount}\\
&--------&-----&-----\\
\textit{50\% punch}&4&0.50&(4)(0.50)\\
\textit{pure juice}&x&1.00&(x)(1.00)\\
-----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&4+x&0.60&(4+x)(0.60)
\end{array}

notice, that, pure juice is 100% juice, dohhh, thus 100/100 = 1.00
50% is 50/100 or 0.50 in decimal format

so..... whatever those two quantities amount to, that is, the 50% and pure juice, or (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00)
they will equal the mixture desired 60% juice, or 0.60, namely (4+x)(0.60)

thus    (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00) = (4+x)(0.60)

solve for "x"

(m+3n)8 plz help me now
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

(8m+24n) is our final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(m+3n)8 ...

We have to simplify this.

Applying distributive property of multiplication:

Distributive property:

When a number is multiplied by a sum of two numbers then we will multiply 'the number' first with the number inside the parentheses then add it and again multiply 'the number' with the next number.

a(b+c)=ab+ac

So,

⇒(m+3n)8

⇒m\times 8 + 3n\times 8

⇒8m+24n

Our final answer is (8m+24n).

Please help asap it’s a test

Answer:

3x = 1.5x + 8.4

8.4/1.5=5.6

5.6 x 3 = 16.8

5.6 x 1.5 + 8.4 = 16.8

Step 1. Cancel out the -0.4 so you add 0.4 to both sides

Step 2. Divide 8.4 by 1.5 = 5.6

Step 3. Replace X with 5.6 and check if the equation is correct

5.6 is the answer
