Answer:

8.46 gallons needed to be replaced

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the alcohol amount that replaced

-Original has concentration of 15% multiply by the amount of 10 ,which is equal to (0.15×10).

-Removed has concentration of 15% multiply by the amount of x ,which is equal to (0.15 × X).

-Added has concentration of 80% multiply by the amount of X ,which is equal to (0.8× X).

-Solution has concentration of 70% multiply by the amount of 10 ,which is equal to (0.70×10).

So that, the equation will be:

Solution=Original + added - removed

7=1.5+0.8x-0.15x

7-1.5=0.65x

0.65x=55

x=55/0.65

x=8.46

8.46 gallons needed to be replaced.

-8x - 46 = -6x - 8
-8x + 6x = -8 + 46
-2x = 38
x = -19

The equation:
-8x - 46 = -6x - 8

The solution:
x = -19

Nate's savings account for the business had $12.10 more at the end of the year than the $252 it had at the begining of the year.
Ulleksa [173]
4.58% is the answer. You need to add the $12.10 to $252 to get the total. 252x100%=2500÷264.10 then subtract the answer from 100.

Consider U = {x|x is a real number}. A = {x|x ∈ U and x + 2 > 10} B = {x|x ∈ U and 2x > 10} Which statements are true? 5 ∉
-Dominant- [34]

x+2 > 10 solves to x > 8 after we subtract 2 from both sides

So set A is the set of real numbers that are larger than 8. The value 8 itself is not in set A. The same can be said about 5 as well.


Set B is the set of values that are larger than 5 since 2x > 10 turns into x > 5 after dividing both sides by 2. The value x = 5 is not in set B since x > 5 would turn into 5 > 5 which is false. The values x = 6, x = 8, and x = 9 are in set B.


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


Summarizing everything, we can say...

5 is not in set A. True

5 is in set B. False

6 is in set A. False

6 is not in set B. False

8 is not in set A. True

8 is in set B. True

9 is in set A. True

9 is not in set B. False
