X + y = 20 --> eqn 1
The second equation would be the mass balance shown below:
(x)(0.40) + y(0.70) = 20(0.52) --> eqn 2
Rearranging eqn 1,x = 20 - ySubstitute this to eqn 2:
(20 - y)(0.40) + y(0.70) = 20(0.52)Solve for y,y = 8 grams Finally, solve for x.x = 20 - 8 = 12 grams
Therefore, Serena needs 12 grams of the 40% solution and 8 grams of the 70% solution.

ikadub [295]

The question is an illustration of a number line, and the point located at -8.65 is B

<h3>How to determine the point?</h3>

From the complete question, we have the following highlight

Point B is between -8 and -9, and point B is closer to -9 than -8

No other point is between -8 and -9

Leno4ka [110]
Let x=small circle
2x = bigger circle

πx^2 + π(2x)^2 = 80π
x^2 + 4x^2 = 80
5x^2 = 80
x^2 = 16
x = +/- 4
but we need the positive one because there's no negative measurement so
the answers are:
4m and 8m

M=dc/dp=4/6=4/6=2/3

c(p)=2p/3 +b  using (6,4)

4=2(6)/3+b

4=4+b, b=0 so

c(p)=2p/3  

(the number of cherries needed as a function of the number of pies)
