Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 = 7x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 - 7x = 7x + 50 - 7x \\ 12x - 7x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \\ 5x = 55 \\ x = 11$

and check:

$12(11) - 5 = 8(11) - (11) + 50 \\ 132 - 5 = 77 + 50 \\ 127 = 127$

Lidocaine (2 grams) was prescribed in 500 mL of fluid at 2 mg/ minute, to be administered via an infusion pump. What is the flow

Luden [163]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

1/2 mL/min

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2\text{ mg}}{\text{min}}\div\left(\dfrac{2\text{ g}}{500\text{ mL}}\times\dfrac{1000\text{ mg}}{\text{g}}\right)=\dfrac{2\times500\text{ mL}}{2\times1000\text{ min}}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ mL/min}}$

Additional comment

The units analysis tells you how to work this problem. In order to get from mg/min to mL/min, you need to multiply by a factor with units mL/mg. Those units are the inverse of the concentration in mg/mL, which is found from g/mL.

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.

worty [1.4K]

The equation is $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

This case asking the end result in the form of a slope-intercept.

Step-1: find out the gradient.

10x + 2y = -2

We isolate the y variable on the left side. Subtract both sides by 10x, we get:

2y = - 10x - 2

Divide both sides by two

y = -5x -1

The slope-intercept form is $\boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }$ , with the coefficient m as a gradient. Therefore, the gradient is m = -5.

If you want a shortcut to find a gradient from the standard form, implement this:

$\boxed{ \ ax + by = k \rightarrow m = - \frac{a}{b} \ }$

10x + 2y = −2 ⇒ a = 10, b = 2

$\boxed{m = - \frac{10}{2} \rightarrow m = -5}$

Step-2: the conditions of the two parallel lines

The gradient of parallel lines is the same $\boxed{ \ m_1 = m_2 \ }$ . So $\boxed{m_1 = m_2 = -5}.$

Final step: figure out the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)

We use the point-slope form.

$\boxed{ \ \boxed{ \ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)} \ }$

Given that

m = -5
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 12)

y - 12 = - 5(x - 0)

y - 12 = - 5x

After adding both sides by 12, the results is $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

Alternative steps

Substitutes m = -5 and (0, 12) to slope-intercept form $\boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }$

12 = -5(0) + c

Constant c is 12 then arrange the slope-intercept form.

Similar results as above, i.e. $\boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }$

Note:

$\boxed{Standard \ form: ax + by = c, with \ a > 0}$

$\boxed{Point-slope \ form: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

$\boxed{Slope-intercept \ form: y = mx + k}$
