Serena is making an experiment. For that, she needs 20 grams of a 52% solution of salt. She has two large bottles of salt water:

one with 40% and the other with 70% of salt in them. How much of each must she use to make the solution she needs?

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.

Given: mAngleEDF = 120°; mAngleADB = (3x)°; mAngleBDC = (2x)° Prove: x = 24 3 lines are shown. A line with points E, D, C inters
N76 [4]

Answer:

" Vertical angles are congruent " ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Look to the attached figure </em>

- There are three lines intersected at point D

- We need to find the missing in step 3

∵ Line FA intersects line EC at point D

- The angles formed when two lines cross each other are called

 vertical angles

- Vertical angles are congruent (vertical angles theorem)

∴ ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical angles

∵ Vertical angles are congruent

∴ ∠EDF ≅ ∠ADC

∴ m∠EDF ≅ m∠ADC

∵ m∠EDF = 120° ⇒ given

∵ m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC

∴ m∠ADB + m∠BDC = 120°

∵ m∠ADB = (3x)° ⇒ given

∵ m∠BDC = (2x)° ⇒ given

∴ 3x + 2x = 120 ⇒ add like terms

∴ 5x = 120 ⇒ divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 24

Column (1)                                                     Column (2)

m∠EDF = 120°                                               given

m∠ADB = 3 x                                                 given

m∠BDC = 2 x                                                 given

∠EDF and ∠ADC are vertical angles           defin. of vert. ∠s

∠EDF is congruent to ∠ADC                        vertical angles are      

                                                                        congruent  

m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                        angle add. post.

m∠EDF = m∠ADC                                          defin. of cong.

m∠EDF = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                         substitution

120° = 3 x + 2 x                                               substitution

120 = 5 x                                                         addition

x = 24                                                              division  

∴ The missing reason is " vertical angles are congruent "

- From the explanation above ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical

 angles then they are congruent according to vertical angle

Seven more than 4 times a number is more than twenty-seven.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

330

Step-by-step explanation:

this question wasn't as sepcific but my answer is 330 bc 7 more then 4 i suppose u to add? so that would be 11, so 11 times a number that is more then 27 so i picked 30, 11x30=330.
