15 no?  Don't recognize "no."  I'll use "units" instead.

Let f represent the volume of the 40% acid solution.
Let t represent that of the 30% solution, and s that of the 60% solution.

Then s + t = 15 units.  Then, (15 units) - s = t

0.30t + 0.60s=(15 units)(0.40)
Mult. this by 100 to elim. fractions:    30t + 60s = 600

Subst (15 units - s) for t, 30 (15-s) + 60s = 600

                                         4500 - 30s + 60s = 600
                                                           30s     = 150
                                                               s = 5 units

Then t = (15 units - 5 units) = 10 units.

Use 10 units of the 30% solution and 5 units of the 60% solution.

Check:  Does (10)(.3) + (5)(.6) = (15)(.4)?  Yes

X+y=15
0.3x+0.6y=0.4*15=6
solve the system of equation.
Multiply equation one by 0.3: 0.3x+0.3y=4.5
subtract the new from the second equation: 0.3y=1.5
y=5

3^x+2=8^x-1 Solve for x.
zubka84 [21]

I assume the equation is supposed to be

3^{x+2}=8^{x-1}

Then we can write

9\cdot3^x=\dfrac18\cdot8^x\implies\left(\dfrac38\right)^x=\dfrac1{72}

Take the logarithm of base 3/8 on both sides:

\log_{3/8}\left(\dfrac38\right)^x=\log_{3/8}\dfrac1{72}

\implies x\log_{3/8}\dfrac38=-\log_{3/8}72

\implies x=-\log_{3/8}72

- - -

If the equation is actually 3^x+2=8^x-1, I'm afraid it cannot be solved exactly.

Area = 120 units squared <br> Base = 8 units <br> Length = ? (Include the units in your answer)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we know that Base*Length=Area, so we just have to divide the area by the base, so the formula here is Area/Base=Length.

That would get us 120/8=Length,

and if we just divide 120 by 8 we get 15, so the length is 15
