Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of pure acid (100% solution) in gallons

Remember that

$100\%=100/100=1$

$20\%=20/100=0.20$

$60\%=60/100=0.60$

we know that

$(1)(x)+(0.20)(3)=(0.60)(x+3)$

solve for x

$x+0.60=0.60x+1.80$

$x-0.60x=1.80-0.60\\0.40x=1.20\\x=3\ gal$

therefore

3 gallons of pure acid should be mixed with 3 gallons of a 20% acid solution in order to get a 60% acid solution

Jupiter's orbital radius is equal to 5 au. how luminous is jupiter compared to the sun

Flura [38]

Jupiter is not as luminous as the sun. However, considering the fact that Jupiter is one of the largest gaseous planets in the solar system, and that it is relatively close to the earth compared to the Pluto, it is still visible in the night sky.

3m -9n = 24; n = - 1,1,3

Ghella [55]

given that

3m -9n =24

when n= -1

substitute it in the equation

thus

3m -9(-1)=24

solving for m

3m +9 =24

3m =24-9

3m=15

dividing through by 3

3m/3 =15/3

m =5 . thus when n= -1 , m=5

also put n=1 into the equation

3m -9(1) =24

3m -9 =24

3m= 24+9

3m =33

dividing through by 3

3m/3 = 33/3

m=11

thus when n= 1, m=11

lastly, put n= 3 into the equation

3m -9(3) =24

3m -27 = 24

3m = 24+27

3m =51

dividing through by 3

3m/3 =51/3

m =17. Thus when n = 3 , m= 17.

Can anyone simplify 24q2/8q-3

Morgarella [4.7K]

24q^2 / 8q^-3

lets break this down...
24/8 = 3

q^2 / q^-3....when dividing exponents with the same base, keep the base and subtract the exponents. q^2 / q^-3 = q^(2 -(-3) = q^(2 + 3) = q^5

put them together and u get : 3q^5

Let U represent the set of people in a certain community who were asked if they subscribe to an information source.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

b) ( N c ∩ D ) ∪ ( N ∩ D c )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see each option:

a) N ∪ D

This includes those who likes both, so this is not correc.t

b) ( N c ∩ D ) ∪ ( N ∩ D c )

Nc is the complement of N. That is those who do not subscribe to news magazine. Intensected with D, those are who do not subscribe to the news magazine but do to the daily informer. By the same logic, the second intersection are those who do subscribe to news magazine but not to the daily informer. This is the correct answer

c) N c ∩ D

This includes only those who subscribe to the daily informer but not to the news maganize. It also needs those who subscribe to the news magazine but not to the daily informer.

d) ( N ∩ D )c

This also involves those who do not subscribe to any of these news sources.

e) ( N c ∪ D ) ∩ ( N ∪ D c )

Wrong... Intersection of those who subscribe to the daily informer but not the news magazine and those who subscribe to the news magazine but not to the daily informer. This is the empty set.
