A scientist needs 60 liters of a 60% acid solution. He currently has a 40% solution and a 70% solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 60 liters of 60% acid solution?

----------------

Equation:

acid + acid = acid

----------------------

0.40x + 0.70(60-x) = 0.60*60

-----

40x + 70*60 - 70x = 60*60

 

-----

-30x = -10*60

x = 20 liters

----

Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.

He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.

Mean : m = 2.2
Standard deviation: s = 0.3
m  - 1 s = 2.2 - 0.3 = 1.9
m + 1 s = 2.2 + 0.3 = 2.5
For the normal distribution the values less than 1 standard deviation away from the mean account for 68.27 % of the set.

2/3xd=10/9 what is d
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:d=5/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for d.

(2/3x)(d)=10/9

Step 1: Divide both sides by (2x)/3.

2/3dx / 2x/3=10/9 / 2x/3

d=5/3x

Type the correct answer in each box. A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2). The equatio
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(x+ \boxed{-5})^2+(y+\boxed4)^2=\boxed{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Center of circle is at (5, -4).

A point on the circle is (x_1,y_1)=(-3, 2)

Equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius 'r' is given as:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Here, (h,k)=(5,-4)

Radius of a circle is equal to the distance of point on the circle from the center of the circle and is given using the distance formula for square of the distance as:

r^2=(h-x_1)^2+(k-y_1)^2

Using distance formula for the points (5, -4) and (-3, 2), we get

r^2=(5-(-3))^2+(-4-2)^2\\r^2=(5+3)^2+(-6)^2\\r^2=8^2+6^2\\r^2=64+36=100

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

(x-5)^2+(y-(-4))^2=100\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=100

Now, rewriting it in the form asked in the question, we get

(x+ \boxed{-5})^2+(y+\boxed4)^2=\boxed{100}
