\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"

Sharon went to solve the following system and her steps are shown. x - y = 9 x + y = 15 Step One: 2x = 26 Add the systems Step T
anzhelika [568]
The system is almost right! The issue here is: when Sharon was adding the systems, she made a mistake. 15 + 9 = 24 not 26. From there, the rest of her steps are correct. Hope this helps!

Describe how to determine the average rate of change between x=1 and x=3 for the function f(x)=3x^3+1. Include the average rate
icang [17]

Answer:

39.

Step-by-step explanation:

We subtract  f(1) which is the value of f(x) when x = 1 from f(3),  then we divide by 3 - 1.

It is [(f3) - f(1]) / (3 - 1), so

Average rate of change = (3(3)^3 + 1) - (3(1)^3 + 1) / (3 - 1)

= (82 - 4) / 2

= 78 / 2

=  39.
