Point B is located at point (4, -2)
A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Answer:
1600 + 300n = balance
Step-by-step explanation:
n = number of months
1600 + 300(12) =
1600 + 3600 = 5200
Answer:
11 mushrooms
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take two sets of numbers that fulfill the requirements (2 and 24 | 5 and 27)
In the first case, there are 26 mushrooms, and to have an equal amount they each need 13. Collin had to give 11 mushrooms to Sophie.
In the second case, there are 32 mushrooms, and they both need 16 each. So in this case, Collin also had to give 11 to Sophie.
The answer is 11 mushrooms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the system via elimination (add the equations):
-10y + 9x = -9
+ (10y + 5x = -5)
-----------------------
14x = -14
x = -1
Plug in the value for 'x' into the second equation:
-10y + 5(-1) = -5
Solve for y:
-10y - 5 = -5
--> -10y = 0
--> y = 0
x = -1
y = 0
