Answer:

The expression is equal to

$\frac{1}{2}(42)+5=26\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----->the distance, in miles, driven by Mr. Roberts on Tuesday

y ----->the distance, in miles, driven by Mr. Roberts on Monday

we know that

$x=\frac{1}{2}y+5$ -----> equation A

$y=42\ miles$ -----> equation B

solve by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x=\frac{1}{2}(42)+5=26\ miles$

Answer:

$27.5

Step-by-step explanation:

P =$500, R = 11 pcpa, T = 6 months = 1/2 years

$I = \frac{PRT}{100} = \frac{500 \times 11 \times \frac{1}{2} }{100} \\ \\ = 5 \times 11 \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = 55 \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ I= \$ 27.5$

How many gallons of pure water should be evaporated from 160 gallons of a solution containing 12% salt so that the remaining sol

bazaltina [42]

X= # gallons of pure water that should be evaporated

The total amount of salt must be equal before and after evaporation.
STEP 1
BEFORE EVAPORATION: multiply the percent of salt in the solution before evaporation by the total gallons of solution
= 12% * 160 gallonsconvert 12% to decimal form (12% ÷ 100)
= 0.12 * 60

STEP 2
AFTER EVAPORATION: subtract the number of gallons of pure water that should be evaporated from the total number of gallons of the solution and multiply by the percent of salt in the solution after evaporation

= 20% * (160 - x)convert 20% to decimal form (20% ÷ 100)
= 0.20(160 - x)

STEP 3
Set the before & after evaporation equations equal to one another to solve for x.
0.12 * 160= 0.20(160 - x)multiply 0.20 by each term in parentheses
19.2= (0.20 * 160) + (0.20 * -x)multiply in parentheses
19.2 = 32 - 0.20xsubtract 32 from both sides
-12.8= -0.20xdivide both sides by -0.20
64 gallons= x

CHECK:substitute x= 64 into the step 3 equation
0.12 * 160= 0.20(160 - x)19.2= 0.20(160 - 64)subtract in parentheses19.2= 0.20(96)19.2= 19.2

ANSWER: 64 gallons of pure water should be evaporated.
Hope this helps! :)

The variable r is directly proportional to the square of t, and r = 144 when t = 72.

Paul [167]

Answer:

k=0.023

Step-by-step explanation:

$r \alpha {t }^{2} \\ r = k {t}^{2} \\ 144 = k \times {72 }^{2} \\ k = \frac{144}{ {72 }^{2} } \\ k = 0.023 \\ the \: eqn \: is \: therefore \\ r = 0.023 \times {t}^{2}$
