The equation should look like :
[H+] = (1-a)(x) + (a)(y)
Where:
5.8 = -log [H+]
5.0 = -log x
6.9 = -log y
(1-a) = proportion of x
<span>a = proportion of y
so calculating a will give you the result of how many ounces are required</span>
Answer:
B 16/y = y/25
C x/16 = 9/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a supplementary angle, meaning the sum of the angles is 180°.
We can find the value of x by combining like terms.
5x - 6 + 7x + 12 = 180.
5x and 7x are alike.
5x + 7x = 12x.
-6 + 12 = 6.
The final equation is 12x + 6 = 180.
We can solve this by subtracting 6 from 180.
180 - 6 = 174.
12x = 174
Lastly, we divide 174 by 12.
174 / 12 = 14.5
Therefore, x is equal to 14.5

Answer:
56, 60, 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The middle of the three numbers is their average: 180/3 = 60. The other two will be 4 more or less than this.
The numbers of interest are 56, 60, 64.

<em>Additional comment</em>
For "consecutive integer" problems, it is often useful to work with the average of the numbers. The average will be the middle number of an odd number of numbers (as here), or will be halfway between the two middle numbers if their number is even.
Even if you bother to write equations, it can work to do that in terms of the average value (middle number): (x -4) +(x) +(x +4) = 180 in this case.
