So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even
even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct
then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even
so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even
so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer
The correct answer is y= -18/3x
This question had the following choices:
<span>A) $223,884.91
B) $226,753.98
C) $229,679.66
D) $234,068.73</span>
I used the Online Balloon Payment Loan Calculator and got this amount $226,753.92. This is nearest to Choice B.
For manual computation, use this formula in the 2nd attachment.
Answer:
- 24 ounces of solution B
- 16 ounces of solution A
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest contributor of salt to the mix is the 45% solution (B), so we'll let our variable (b) represent the quantity of that. The total amount desired is 40 ounces, so the quantity of solution A is (40-b) ounces. Then the amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.45b +0.20(40-b) = 0.35(40)
Simplifying and subtracting 0.20(40), we get ...
0.25b = 0.15(40)
b = 40(.15/.25) = 24
(40-b) = 16
The scientist should use 24 ounces of Solution B and 16 ounces of Solution A.
