Answer:

\frac{(2-y)x}{5}\text{ litres}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l litre of 7 grams of salt per litre is combined with x litres of water which contains y grams of salt per litre to yield a solution with 2 grams of salt per litre.

Thus,

Salt in l litre + salt in x litre = salt in resultant mixture

7l + xy = 2(l +x)

7l + xy = 2l + 2x

7l - 2l = 2x - xy

5l = x(2-y)

\implies l =\frac{x(2-y)}{5}

Hence, \frac{x(2-y)}{5} litres of 7 gram of salt per litre is mixed.

Answer:

2.150 = 2.15

2 +15/10 > 2.15

2 + 0.015 < 2.15

215/100 = 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

2.150 = 2.15, because 2.15 can be rewritten as 2.150.

2 +15/10=2+1.5=3.5

2 +15/10 > 2.15

3.5 > 2.15

2 + 0.015 < 2.15

2.015 < 2.15

215/100 = 2.15

2.15 = 2.15

Pls help<br> Enter the equation for the graph.
prisoha [69]

Answer:

y=[1]cos([\frac{2\pi }{3}]x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, we can see the domain to be from (0 , 2π).

Now we have to find one period that corresponds to cos(x).

The half-period of cos(x) for this graph appears to be pi/3 and adding another pi/3 gets us 2pi/3 to be our cosine period.

b = 2pi/3

a is the same range as cos(x). Range: (0,0)

y = [a] * cos ([b]*x)

y = [1] * cos([2pi/3]x)
