Let’s call the number of gallons of 30% solution “x”. If we mix together 40 gallons and x gallons of solution, we’re going to come out with a total of 40 + x gallons of that 20% solution. Mathematically, this is

40(12%) + x(30%) = (40 + x)(20%)

With the percents as decimals:

40(0.12) + x(0.3) = (40 + x)(0.2)

Simplifying, we have:

4.8 + 0.3x = 8 + 0.2x

Collecting the x terms on one side and the constants on the other:

0.1x = 3.2

And multiplying both sides by 10 to find x:

x = 32

So, you’ll need 32 gallons of 30% solution to yield 40 + 32 = 72 gallons of 20% solution.

Find a linear equation whose graph is the straight line with the given property.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y = 3/4x - 9/8

Then read explanation and see here with 2 coordinates would make

if 3/4 = -6 then 1 = -8

y = -6x + c

-6 / 3/4  + 9/8 / - 0.5  = -2.25

therefore c = -2.25

y = -6x - 2.25

y = -6x - 9/4  and again 9/4 can be found easily if round up fraction decimal to 225/100 and divide by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

C1)    (0.5 , -0.75)

C2)   ( 1. -3.75)

y = mx + c

-3.75 - - 0.75  /   1 - 0.5  = -3.75 + 0.75 / 0.5

= -3 / 0.5 = m

m = -6

y = -6x + c

then this works given just one coordinate to solve for 1 or 2 sets given points

y - y1 = mx+c

y - - 0.75 =  0.75 (x - x1)

y + 0.75 = 0.75 (x - 0.5)

y + 0.75 = 0.75x - 0.375

y = 0.75 - 0.75   =  0.75x( - 0.375 - 0.75)

y = 0.75x -1.125

y = 3/4x - 9/8    as common denominators of 1125/1000 is 9/8 as we divide by  125 into the fraction as we start at 250 and check its half just like when finding common denominators we 1/4 the lower number and see if we can find its half or its double etc with the other num er as first step for 3sf numbers.
