Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
  0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
  0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
  0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
  x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
  (420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
  105 liters of 30% solution
  315 liters of 50% solution

PLEASE HELP ME!! (50 COINS) (i rlly need help so im giving coins away PLEASE ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!!!)
Archy [21]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

4( x + 1.5)^2 + 0  

Discussion:

4x^2 + 12x + 9 =                => factor "4" from first 2 terms

4 (x^2 + 3x) + 9 =               => complete the square, add\subtract (1.5)^2

4(x^2 + 3x + (1.5)^2)  - 4 (1.5)^2 + 9  =

4 ( x + 1.5)^2 + ( 9 - 4(1.5)^2) =           => as (1.5)^2 = 2.25

4 ( x + 1.5)^2 + ( 9 - 4(2.25)) =        => as 4 ( 2.25) = 9

4 ( x+ 1.5)^2 + 0


Thank you,

MrB

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the
Pavlova-9 [17]
Make slope intercept
3x - y = 5
3x = y + 5
y = 3x - 5
Parallel = same slope
Slope = 3
Y = 3x + b
Plug in the point
-2 = 3(-1) + b
-2 = -3 + b, b = 1

Solution: y = 3x + 1
