Alright
so
28% of 2 m³=0.28 times 2=0.56 m³ of silt in the first mixture

13% of the 1 m³=0.13 times 1=0.13 m³ of silt in 2nd

total is 0.56 m³+0.13 m³=0.69 m³ of silt
and the total is 2m³+1m³=3m³

so
0.69/3=0.23=23%

answer is D

Given the points P(2,-1) and Q(-9,-6), what are the coordinates of the point on directed line segment PQ that partitions PQ in t

gayaneshka [121]

ANSWER

$( - \frac{23}{5} , - 4)$

EXPLANATION

Given the points P(2,-1) and Q(-9,-6),the coordinates of the point that partition the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 3:2 is given by

$x = \frac{ mx_2+nx_1}{m + n}$

$y= \frac{ my_2+ny_1}{m + n}$

Where m=3 and n=2

$x = \frac{ 3 ( - 9)+2(2)}{3+ 2}$

$x = \frac{ - 23}{5}$

$y= \frac{ 3( - 6)+2( - 1)}{3 + 2}$

$y= \frac{ - 20}{5} = - 4$

The point is

$( - \frac{23}{5} , - 4)$

Which expression is not equivalent to the other three?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equivalent Expressions</u>

Let's find out which expressions are equivalent by simplifying them. One of the expressions should be not equivalent to the other three.

Simplifying

$2x + 2+ 2x + 3x -8=7x-6$

Now for the second expression

$4 + 7x -2=7x+2$

The third expression simplifies to

$-2 + 5x + 2x - 4=7x-6$

Finally, this is the simplification for the expression

$8x - x - 6=7x-6$

As seen, the only expression not equivalent to the other three is 4 + 7x – 2

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = 20 + (n − 1)(2). What is the 200th term?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$a_{200}=418$

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by :

$a_n=20+(n-1)2$ ...(1)

We need to find the 200th term of the sequence.

Put n = 200 in equation (1)

$a_{200}=20+(200-1)2\\\\=20+199\times 2\\\\=418$

So, the 200th term of the sequence is 418.
