Answer:

24 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

45% of 20 is 0.45 * 20 = 9

So in 20 quarts, 9 is pure antifreeze

suppose we want to add x quarts and this will make it 75%. So we can write:

\frac{9+x}{20+x}=0.75

Now we cross multiply, do algebra, and solve for x:

\frac{9+x}{20+x}=0.75\\(0.75)(20+x)=9+x\\15+0.75x=9+x\\15-9=x-0.75x\\6=0.25x\\x=\frac{6}{0.25}\\x=24

Hence, 24 quarts should be added

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour
irakobra [83]
Recall d  = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then.  Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph?  d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.

What would the sum of -18-(-12) be?
Mademuasel [1]
-18-(-12)=-6 
Since there is two negative sign, it turns into positive meaning the -12 becomes positive 12 and the -18 stays same. So -18+12=-6 because 18 is bigger than 12 and it's negative so the final answer should be negative. 
Hint: when you see two negative sign just turn them into plus sign.
