Answer:

The price of the kilogram of cookies is $ 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the price of the kilogram of candy and call y the price of kilogram of cookies

Then we know that

0.600x + 1.5y = 4.62

We also know that the price of kilogram of cookies is 1.40 dollars cheaper than the kilogram of candy

So

y = x-1.40

We solve this equation for x and then we substitute it in the first equation.

x = y + 1.40

0.60 (y +1.40) + 1.5y = 4.62\\\\0.60y + 1.5y = 4.62 - 0.84\\\\2.1y = 3.78

y = \$1.8

You purchased concentrated cleaner that must be diluted (watered down)
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The volume of the concentrated 80 gallons mixture is 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture is 60 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The content of Container A = The cleaner

The concentration of the cleaner = 20% solution

The content of Container B = Pure water

The concentration of the desired solution = 5%

The volume of the required solution = 80 gallons

Let x represent the volume of the concentrated solution and y represent the volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture

Therefore, we have;

20/100 × x + y×0 = 5/100×80

x + y = 80

y = 80 - x

20/100 × x + (80 - x)×0 = 5/100×80

0.2·x = 4

x = 4/0.2 = 20

x = 20 gallons

y = 80 - x = 80 - 20 = 60

y = 60 gallons

The volume of the concentrated solution (80 gallons mixture) = x = 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture = y = 60 gallons.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-5, 19) and (5.13).
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

y=-3/5x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(13-19)/(5-(-5))

m=-6/(5+5)

m=-6/10

simplify

m=-3/5

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-19=-3/5(x-(-5))

y-19=-3/5(x+5)

y=-3/5x-15/5+19

y=-3/5x-3+19

y=-3/5x+16
