Answer: choice A. 40 liters

====================================

Explanation:

x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution

If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).

So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)

0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x

36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x

8 = 0.20x

0.20x = 8

x = 8/0.20

x = 40

So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters

Find the length of HJ
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

<h2>HJ = 17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation:

2 + HI + 12 = 7 + 12

HI + 14 = 19             <em>subtract 14 from both sides</em>

HI = 5

HJ = HI + 12

Substitute the value of HI:

HJ = 5 + 12 = 17

Complete the square to transform the expression x^2+4x 2 into the form a(x − h)2 + k.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

(x+2)^2-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the expression

x^2+4x+2

Convert to vertex form

a(x-h)^2+k

where

a is the leading coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

Complete the square

(x^2+4x+2^2)+2-2^2

(x^2+4x+2^2)-2

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+2)^2-2

so

The coefficient a =1

The vertex is the point (-2,-2)
