Answer:

the new ratio milk/water is 14:6 or 7:3

Step-by-step explanation:

milk/water=5/3

milk +water=5+3=8

ratio of milk=5/8 and ratio of water=3/8

if 4 liter removed from mixture then: 20=4= 16 liter

the amount of milk in 16 liter=16*5/8=10 liter of milk

the amount of water in 16 liter=16*3/8= 6 liter

add 4 liter of milk to the mixture: 10+4=14 liter of milk and 6 liter of water

the new ratio milk/water is 14:6 or 7:3

Hello,

Here is your answer:

The proper answer is "2.68".

First translate the question:

5 hours and 8 min=5.8

3 hours 12 min=3.12

Now subtract:

5.8-3.12=2.68

Your answer is 2.68!

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hop this helps!

Emma spent $38.22 on 3 dozen bagels and a gallon of iced tea. The price of the gallon of iced tea was $5.25. The following equat

3d + $5.25 = $38.22
3d= $38.22-$5.25
= $32.97
d= 32.97/3
=$10.99

a dozen of bagels costs $10.99

Write an equation in standard form for the line that passes through the given points.

Agata [3.3K]

So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:

I

I

(-2,7) • I

I

I • (2, 5)

I

I

I

I

_________________I____________________

I

I

I

TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:

y = -1/2x + 6

TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:

y = -1/2x + 6

+1/2x + 1/2x

1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!

Two problems here I need solved! I need every step, so please have that with your answers!!

QUESTION 1

We want to solve,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-6x+8}$

We factor the denominator of the fraction on the right hand side to get,

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x^{2}-4x - 2x+8}.$

This implies
$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{x(x-4) - 2(x - 4)}.$

$\frac{1}{(x-4)}+\frac{x}{(x-2)}=\frac{2}{(x-4)(x - 2)}$

We multiply through by LCM of
$(x-4)(x - 2)$

$(x - 2) + x(x-4) = 2$

We expand to get,

$x - 2 + {x}^{2} - 4x= 2$

We group like terms and equate everything to zero,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x - 2 - 2 = 0$

We split the middle term,

${x}^{2} + - 3x - 4 = 0$

We factor to get,

${x}^{2} + x - 4x- 4 = 0$

$x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = 0$

$(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0$

$x + 1 = 0 \: or \: x - 4 = 0$

$x = - 1 \: or \: x = 4$

But
$x = 4$
is not in the domain of the given equation.

It is an extraneous solution.

$\therefore \: x = - 1$
is the only solution.

QUESTION 2

$\sqrt{x+11} -x=-1$

We add x to both sides,

$\sqrt{x+11} =x-1$

We square both sides,

$x + 11 = (x - 1)^{2}$

We expand to get,

$x + 11 = {x}^{2} - 2x + 1$

This implies,

${x}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0$

We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,

${x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0$

$x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0$

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

$x + 2 = 0 \: or \: x - 5 = 0$

$x = - 2 \: or \: x = 5$

But
$x = - 2$
is an extraneous solution

$\therefore \: x = 5$
