How many liters of a 10% alcohol solution must be mixed with 90 liters of a 60% solution to get a 30% solution?

Since 10% = 0.10 by moving the decimal two spots to the left, we can say that 0.10L is the amount of alcohol with 10% concentration in L liters. Similarly, 0.60L is 60% for L liters and 0.30L is the amount of liters with 30%. If the amount of 10% alcohol solution in liters is x and the 60% in y, we get 0.10x+0.60y=0.30L due to that the liters add up to get a 30% amount of alcohol (this equation represents the amount of alcohol). Next, x+y=L. Since we know that we have 90 liters of 0.60, y=90 and we have 
0.10x+54=0.30L 
x+90=L. Plugging x+90 for L, we get 0.10x+54=0.3(x+90)=0.3x+27. Subtracting 27 and 0.1x from both sides, we get 0.2x=27. Next, we can multiply both sides by 5 (since 1/0.2=5) to get x=135 liters

What is the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve y = 27 - x2?
statuscvo [17]
The answer is 54 square units.
let the vertex in quadrant I be (x,y) 
<span>then the vertex in quadratnt II is (-x,y) </span>
<span>base of the rectangle = 2x </span>
<span>height of the rectangle = y </span>
<span>Area = xy </span>
<span>= x(27 - x</span>²<span>) </span>
<span>= -x</span>³<span> + 27x </span>
<span>d(area)/dx = 3x</span>²<span> - 27 </span><span>= 0 for a maximum of area </span>
<span>3x</span>²<span> = 3 x 3</span>² = <span>27 </span>
<span>x</span>²<span> = 9 </span>
<span>x = ±3 </span>
<span>y = 27-9 = 18 </span>
So, the largest area = 3 x 18 = 54 square units

The value of an autographed baseball from 2017 is $300. The value of the baseball exponentially increases by 5% each year after
WARRIOR [948]
General exponential equation
y = A(1+r)^x
where
A = initial value
r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-)
x = time period of the change
y = projected value

y = 300(1.05)^x
in this problem, x = years after 2017
we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650

650 <= 300(1.05)^x

2x + 5y + 30 = 0 The point ( 5/2 , y) is a solution to the equation shown. What is the value of y? A) -7 B) -5 C) 0 D) 5
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A) -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y + 30 = 0

Let x = 5/2

Substitute into the equation

2(5/2) +5y +30 =0

5+5y+30=0

Combine like terms

35 +5y =0

Subtract 35 from each side

35-35 +5y = -35

5y=-35

Divide by 5

5y/5=-35/5

y = -7
