Answer: Hi!

Since 5 is being multiplied by x, and x is equal to 2, be would multiply 5 and 2. 5 * 2 is equal to 10.

Hope this helps!

Kevin and randy muise have a jar containing 68 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. the total value of the coins

Monica [59]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of quarters
y: number of nickels
We now write the system of equations:
x + y = 68
0.25x + 0.05y = 13.40
Solving the system we have:
x = 50
y = 18
Answer:
they have:
quarters = 50
nickels = 18

Which term is correct when simplifying √128? A.) 16 B.) 12 C.) 10 D.) 8√2

alina1380 [7]

When dealing with roots, we want to factor to see if it's possible

$128 = 2 \times 64$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 32$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 16$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 8$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 4$
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$

now since we're dealing with square roots, we circle every pair of numbers we see in the final factoring
so..
$= (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times 2$

now for every circled pair, we take only 1 of the 2 circled and bring it outside
anything left uncircled stays inside the root
so..
$= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times \sqrt{2}$

now simply multiply
$8 \sqrt{2}$

Suppose brine containing 0.2 kg of salt per liter runs into a tank initially filled with 500 L of water containing 5 kg of salt.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) 0.288 kg/liter

(b) 0.061408 kg/liter

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The mass of salt entering the tank per minute, x = 0.2 kg/L × 5 L/minute = 1 kg/minute

The mass of salt exiting the tank per minute = 5 × (5 + x)/500

The increase per minute, Δ/dt, in the mass of salt in the tank is given as follows;

Δ/dt = x - 5 × (5 + x)/500

The increase, in mass, Δ, after an increase in time, dt, is therefore;

Δ = (x - 5 × (5 + x)/500)·dt

Integrating with a graphing calculator, with limits 0, 10, gives;

Δ = (99·x - 5)/10

Substituting x = 1 gives

(99 × 1 - 5)/10 = 9.4 kg

The concentration of the salt and water in the tank after 10 minutes = (Initial mass of salt in the tank + Increase in the mass of the salt in the tank)/(Volume of the tank)

∴ The concentration of the salt and water in the tank after 10 minutes = (5 + 9.4)/500 = (14.4)/500 = 0.288

The concentration of the salt and water in the tank after 10 minutes = 0.288 kg/liter

(b) With the added leak, we now have;

Δ/dt = x - 6 × (14.4 + x)/500

Δ = x - 6 × (14.4 + x)/500·dt

Integrating with a graphing calculator, with limits 0, 20, gives;

Δ = 19.76·x -3.456 = 16.304

Where x = 1

The increase in mass after an increase in = 16.304 kg

The total mass = 16.304 + 14.4 = 30.704 kg

The concentration of the salt in the tank then becomes;

Concentration = 30.704/500 = 0.061408 kg/liter.
