Answer: 60 gallons of the 20% solution and 120 gallons of the 50% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of 20% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of 50% solution that should be mixed.

A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. This means that

0.2x + 0.5y = 0.4×180

0.2x + 0.5y = 72- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Since the total number of gallons is 180, it means that

x + y = 180

Substituting x = 180 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.2(180 - y) + 0.5y = 72

36 - 0.2y + 0.5y = 72

- 0.2y + 0.5y = 72 - 36

0.3y = 36

y = 36/0.3

y = 120

x = 180 - y = 180 - 120

x = 60

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 7. and 10. If the length of the longest side of a similar triangle is 25. what is the
NeX [460]

Answer: 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

7:10 = x:25

times both sides by 25

25(7/10) =x

than solve for x

X = 25 × (7/10)

X = 17.5

A line has a y-intercept at (0,−15) and contains the point (−4,−3). What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
nydimaria [60]

Answer: y=-3x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-intercept.

Since the given line  has a y-intercept at (0,-15), then:

b=-15

The formula for calculate the slope is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Knowing that the given line contains the points (0,-15) and (-4,-3), we can calculate the slope. This is:

 m=\frac{-15-(-3)}{0-(-4)}=-3

Substituting values into y=mx+b, we get that the equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=-3x-15
