Answer:

<h2>Only one solution</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

- 6(x + 7) =  - 4x - 2

Distribute -6 through the parentheses

- 6x - 42 =  - 4x - 2

Move variable to L.H.S and change its sign

- 6x + 4x  - 42 =  - 2

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

- 6x + 4x =  - 2 + 42

Collect like terms

- 2x  =  - 2 + 42

Calculate the sum

- 2 x = 40

Divide both sides of the equation by - 2

\frac{ - 2x}{ - 2}  =  \frac{40}{ - 2}

Calculate

x =  - 20

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..

<h3>Answer:   0.5</h3>

This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2

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

Explanation:

The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.

|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3

or

|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3

We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.

--------------------------

The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...

|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5

or

|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5

The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.

We can say A'B' = 1.5

---------------------------

Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k

k = (A'B')/(AB)

k = (1.5)/(3)

k = 0.5

0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.

The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.

in the lab, Tammy has two solutions thta contain alcohol and is mixing them with each other. She use twice as much Solution A as
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

She uses 200 milliliters of solution B

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are two unknowns in this problem: 1) the amount of solution A that is being used, and 2) the amount of solution B being used. We can name such unknowns with letters to facilitate our work:

Amount of solution A to be used = A

Amount of solution B to be used = B

So, since we need to find two unknowns, we need to create a system of two equations to solve them.

Our first equation can be obtained from the sentence: "She uses twice as much Solution A as Solution B," which written in mathematical form is:

A = 2 B

The second equation we can build from the information of the amount of alcohol in each solution that combined will add up to 104 milliliters of alcohol in the mixture. Knowing the percent of alcohol in each solution, we can write an equation for the amount of alcohol:

0.19 A + 0.14 B = 104

Now we can use our first equation to substitute A in terms of B in the second equation:

0.19 (2 B) + 0.14 B = 104

0.38 B + 0.14 B = 104

0.52 B = 104

B = 104 / 0.52

B = 200 milliliters
