y = amount needed at 55% alcohol.

x = amount of pure water, or 0% alcohol

so, you have on hand 330 mL of 80% alcohol, so how much alcohol only is there on that mixture?  well, is 330 mL, so 80% of 330 is 330 * (80/100)  = 330 * 0.8 = 264 mL.

likewise, let's convert the other perecentage values to deciaml, bearing in mind that pure water is, well just pure water, it has no alcohol, or we can say that it has 0% alcohol.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{mL of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{on hand}&330&0.8&264\\ \textit{pure water}&x&0&0x\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&y&0.55&0.55y \end{array}~\hfill \begin{cases} 330+x=\boxed{y}\\\\ 264+0x = 0.55y \end{cases}

\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{264+0x=0.55\left( \boxed{330+x} \right)}\implies 264=181.5+0.55x\implies 82.5=0.555x \\\\\\ \cfrac{82.5}{0.55}=x\implies 150=x

The local softball field has a lemonade stand. The graph shows the amount of money in the cash register of the lemonade stand.
Alexxandr [17]

1.

<h3>The y-intercept</h3>

The y-intercept is $35.

The y-intercept of a straight line graph is the point at which the graph intercepts the y-axis.

So, from the graph, the y-intercept is $35.

2.

<h3>The meaning of y-coordinate</h3>

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the function represents the amount of money present at the beginning of the sale when no cups where sold.

Since the y-intercept represents the point at which the graph intercepts the y-axis and then the x- value is zero, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the function represents the amount of money present at the beginning of the sale when no cups where sold.

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the function represents the amount of money present at the beginning of the sale when no cups where sold.

3.

<h3>The slope</h3>

The slope is 2.5

Since we are given two points on the line, the slope m of a line given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

From the graph, (x₁, y₁) = (3, 42.5) and (x₂, y₂) = (9, 57.5)

So, substituting these values into the equation for m, we have

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (57.5 - 42.5)/(9 - 3)

m = 15.0/6

m = 2.5

The slope is 2.5

4.

<h3>Meaning of the slope</h3>

The slope represents the rate at which the lemonade is sold

Since the y-axis represent the amount of money in the cash register and the x-axis represents the number of cups of lemonade sold, the slope represents the rate at which the lemonade is sold.

The slope represents the rate at which the lemonade is sold

Identify the area of the rhombus. PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate!!
Naddika [18.5K]

Area = 1/2(diagonal) * √4*side^2 - diagonal^2

Area = 1/2(16)*√(4*17^2 - 16^2)

Area = 8 * √(4*289-256)

Area = 8 *√900

Area = 8 * 30

Area = 240 m^2
