The Intersecting Secant Theorem says
EC × ED = EB × EA
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12
8 = 4x
x = 2

Answer: 2
Answer:
The total allowance is $18.5, and the amount spent daily is $3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
let T and x represent the total allowance and the amount spent daily respectively.
It was started that the amount remaining after 2 days is $12.10 , which implies the person has spend an equal amount for 2 days
T - 2x =12.10 (equation 1)
It was started that the amount remaining after 5 days is $2.50 , which also implies the person has spend an equal amount for 5 days
T - 5x =2.5 (equation 2)
subtract equation 2 from 1
T - 2x -( T - 5x ) = 12.10 -2.5
T - 2x -T + 5x = 9.6
3x =9.6
Divide both side by 3
x = 9.6/3 =3.2
from equation 1
T - 2x =12.10
T = 12.10 + 2x = 12.10 + 2*3.2
= 12.10 + 6.4 = 18.5
Given:
22
gallons of 16% ammonia
24%
ammonia
Find:
Number
of gallons of water to remove
Solution:
Let
n = number of gallons needed to obtain 24% ammonia
22
gallons (0.16) = n (.24)
<span>N = 14.67 gallons of water</span>
