Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut

ion. The equation 0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50) can be used to find the amount of 10% alcohol solution Bruce should use. How much of the 15% alcohol solution should Bruce use?

(50 - x) is the amount of the 15% Alcohol solution to use. If you solve for x first.
<span>0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50)
0.10x - 0.15x + 7.5 = 6
-0.05x + 7.5 = 6
7.5 - 6 = 0.05x
1.5 = 0.05x
1.5/0.05 = x
30 mL = x

Then the 15% solution: 50 - 30 = 20 mL

Rafiq compares the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Hey there!

Rafiq's error was that the other number is also changing. He had 4 x 8 and if he had 8 x 8, that would be twice as much, but he used 8 x 12 instead, and  12 is not 8.

Let me know if this helps :)

Find the missing length using the Pythangorean Theorem and round the answer to the nearest tenth if necessary​
UNO [17]
B=6 i believe! if you use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) then you should be able to turn 8^2 and 10^2 into 64 and 100, respectively. 100-64=36 and the square root of 36 is 6. you can plug it in by calculating 8^2 + 6^2, which equals 100! hope this wasn't too confusing XD

Is XYZ = ABC? If so, name which similarity postulate or theorem applies.
vazorg [7]

C. Similar - AA

There is no information given that shows differences between the two triangles so you can assume that they're similar.  The two angles are next to each other with no side interrupting them, and no side length is given, therefore the answer is Similar - AA (angle - angle)
