\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of acid}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{liters of acid}}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{15\% acid}&x&0.15&0.15x\\
\textit{33\% acid}&y&0.33&0.33y\\ -----&------&------&------\\
mixture&120&0.21&25.2
\end{array}

\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=120\implies \boxed{y}=120-x\\
0.15x+0.33y=25.2\\
--------------\\
0.15x+0.33\left( \boxed{120-x} \right)=25.2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.15x-0.33+39.6=25.2\implies -0.18x=-14.4
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{-14.4}{-0.18}\implies x=80

how many liters will it be of the 33% acid?  well, y = 120 - x.

If x-5(x-7)=-7 then x equals what?
NeX [460]
Expand

simplify x - 5x + 35 to -4x + 35

subtract 35 from both sides

simplify -7 - 35 to -42

divide both sides by -4

two negatives make a positive

simplify 42/4 to 21/2

Answer: x = 21/2.

Why is water not used as a solvent in paper chromatography​
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Because the kind of compounfds that you try to determine using paper chromatography (organic compounds) are usually not soluble in water. Furthermore, water could react chemically with some of this compounds, because it's a very reactive molecule. You need organic solvents that are mostly inert.

18. Without solving the radical equation VX + 5 + 9 = 0, how could you tell that it has no real solution?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Has two unkown variables

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is only one equation provided with two unknown variables, it is difficult to solve for the unknown variables

The most simplified version of this equation would be VX = -14

More information would be needed to solve

Mean: average of the numbers. Add them up, divide by how many numbers/entries there are.
-2 + -1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 3
3 divided by 8 = 0.375
Your mean is 0.375


Median: write the data in numerical order, find the middle number.

-2, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 4
In this data set, there are an even number of entries, so we average the middle two numbers. Thankfully, here, the middle two are the same, so your median is 0.

Mode: the number that appears the most often in the data set

Your mode is also 0, because there are more zeroes than any other number in the data set.

Range: the distance on a number line between the highest and lowest number.

The distance between -2 and 4 is 6.4 - (-2) = 6
