\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"

Answer while showing work I need u to show ur work and answer
skad [1K]

Answer:

7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of a square is increased by 8 cm, let us say the length got increased by 8 cm. So we have length of x + 8 cm

An adjacent side, the width, decreased by 2 cm. So we have width of x - 2cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

40 = 2( (x + 8) + ( x - 2) )

40 = 2( 2x + 6)

40 = 4x + 12

28 = 4x

x = 7 cm

That is 7 cm of the length of the side of the square

Find the area of this circle. Use 3.14 for pi
aalyn [17]
The area of a circle is given by the formula:

A = \pir^2

Since \pi = 3.14, and r = 6, sub these values into the equation,

A = 3.14 x 6^2
   = 113.04

Hope this helped!
