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

Answer: 10

2AX=BD
2(3y-5)=5y
6y-10=5y
add 10 to each side 6y+10-10=5y+10
6y=5y+10
subtract 5y from each side 6y-5y=5y-5y+10
6y-5y=y
y=10

A cube is cut in to three parts by vertical slices find the volume of the shaded area The length and width of original is 20 cm
Anni [7]

Answer:

4000 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that no image was attached for reference purposes

Step one:

We are given that the original length and width of the cube is 20cm

if the cut part is 10cm

hence the dimension of the cut part is

lenght = 20cm

Width= 20cm

Hieght= 10cm

Step two:

the volume of the cut part will be

Volume= 20*20*10

Volume= 4000 cm^3

Solve the following equation: lim x->0 sin3x/5x^3-4x.
goblinko [34]
Usual limit of sin is sinX/X--->1, when X--->0

sin3x/5x^3-4x=0/0?, sin3x/3x--->1 when x --->0, so sin3x/5x^3-4x=                    [3x. sin3x / 3x] /(5x^3-4x)=(sin3x / 3x) . (3x/5x^3-4x)
   =(sin3x / 3x) . (3/5x^2- 4)
finally lim  sin3x/5x^3-4x=lim (sin3x / 3x) .(3/5x^2- 4)=1x(3/-4)= - 3/4
                 x----->0            x---->0
