Answer:

249 gallons of 7% butterfat milk and 83 gallons of 3% butterfat milk

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the gallons of 7% butterfat milk, and y is the gallons of 3% butterfat milk, then:

x + y = 332

0.07x + 0.03y = 0.06(332)

Solve the system of equations using substitution:

0.07x + 0.03(332 − x) = 0.06(332)

0.07x + 9.96 − 0.03x = 19.92

0.04x = 9.96

x = 249

y = 332 − x

y = 83

You need 249 gallons of 7% butterfat milk and 83 gallons of 3% butterfat milk.

The actual length of side y is 22cm. Use the scale drawing to find the length of side x.
kozerog [31]

Given:

The actual length of side y is 22cm.

To find:

The length of side x by using the scale drawing.

Solution:

We know that the corresponding sides of original figure and scale drawing are proportional.

\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{y}{1.4}

\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{22}{1.4}

x=\dfrac{22}{1.4}\times 1.8

x\approx 28.286

Therefore, the length of side x is about 28.286 cm.

A line represented by y = 2x − 3 and a line perpendicular to it intersect at R(2, 1). What is the equation of the perpendicular
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 3. The slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, just flip the slope and change the sign.

slope = 2 or 2/1.....flip it.....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.

y = mx + b

slope(m) = - 1/2

(2,1)....x = 2 and y = 1

now we sub and find b, the y intercept

1 = -1/2(2) + b

1 = -1 + b

1 + 1 = b

2 = b

so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 2 <===

and u can check it with ur points....(2,1)

y = 2x - 3

1 = 2(2) - 3

1 = 4 - 3

1 = 1 (yep...it checks out)
