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

alexandr402 [8]
Nadia = 3x than Jim
Paul = 25+ than Nadia
Jim = ?
Nadia and Paul = 85

85-25 = 60
(Subtract Nadia's and Paul's stickers all together with the stickers that Paul have more so both of the stickers are balance)

Nadia = 60/2 =30
Paul = 30+25 =55

Jim= 30/3=10

#Jim have 10 stickers

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -2) and is perpendicular to the line
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} } = - 3, so

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (6, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 18 = 16

y = - 3x + 16 ← equation of perpendicular line
