1 answer:

8 0

Let x = number of tbsp of pure maple syrup 1.00x = maple syrup content of pure syrup0.45(48) = maple syrup content of 45% solution0.60(x+48) = maple syrup content of mixtureThen, 1.00x + 0.45(48) = 0.60(x+48)
x + 21.6 = 0.60x + 28.80.40x = 7.2x = 18 tbsp

Solve the equation for y.<br><br> 4.2x−1.4y=2.1

Vlada [557]

Answer:

y=3x- 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4.2x−1.4y=2.1

Subtract 4.2x from each side

4.2x-4.2x−1.4y=-4.2x+2.1

-1.4y = -4.2x +2.1

divide each side by -1.4

-1.4y/-1.4y = -4.2x/ -1.4 +2.1/-1.4y

y=3x- 3/2

To solve for y in the equation 2 x + y = 5, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we have to isolate y and subtracting 2 will not put y alone on one side.

We have to subtract 2x in order to solve for y.

What is the value of f(g(-3)?

Natalija [7]

Answer:

f(x) + g(x) = (-2x + 8)+ 3x

f(x) + g(x) = -2x + 8 + 3x Combine like terms.

f(x) + g(x) = x + 8

f(x) + g(x) = (f+g)(x) = x + 8

(f + g)(-1) = -1 + 8

(f + g)(-1) = 7
