Answer:

7.5 liters of a 10% antifreeze solution AND

7.5 liters of a 40% antifreeze solution

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,we were asked to find out how many liters of 10% anti freeze solution and 40% anti freeze each to make a 15 liters 25% mixture

Let’s call

the amount of liters needed of our 10% solution “x”. So, how

many liters do we need of the 40% solution? Well, there are 15

liters in total, x liters have been spoken for, so what remains

of our allotted 10 liters then, is 15-x.

Now let's solve for "x"

10% of x + 40% of (15 - x) = 25% of 15 liters

0.1x + 0.4(15 - x) = 0.25(15)

0.1x + 6 - 0.4x = 3.75

Collect the like terms and we have

0.3x = 2.25

x = 2.25 × 3

X = 7.5(Liters for the 10% anti freeze solution)

The 40% solution= 15 - 7.5 = 7.5 liters

Since "X" was used to fill for the unknown amount of 10% anti freeze solution,we have 7.5 liters of the 10% solution and another 7.5 liters for the 40% solution to end up with 15 liters of the desired 25% solution.

A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 136 feet above the
alexandr1967 [171]

The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the  nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.

Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.

The distance between CD is 139 feet.

As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°

therefore, m∠A = 6°

Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.

therefore, m∠DBC = 19°

tan 19° = CD/BD

BD = CD/tan19°

BD = 136/tan 19°

now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)

AD = CD/tan 6°

AD = 136/tan 6°

AB = AD ₋ BD

AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°

AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3

AB = 900 feet

hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

A and B are complementary angles. If A = (x – 23)° and m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

∠ B = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

x - 23 + 2x + 29 = 90 , that is

3x + 6 = 90 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 84 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 28

Then

∠ B = 2x + 29 = 2(28) + 29 = 56 + 29 = 85°
