Answer:

First brand of antifreeze: 21 gallons

Second brand of antifreeze: 9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of  first brand of antifreeze. 20% pure antifreeze

Let's call B the amount of second brand of antifreeze. 70% pure antifreeze

The resulting mixture should have 35% pure antifreeze, and 30 gallons.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

A + B = 30

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

0.2A + 0.7B = 0.35 * 30

0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.7 and add it to the second equation:

-0.7A -0.7B = -0.7*30

-0.7A -0.7B = -21

-0.7A -0.7B = -21

               +

0.2A + 0.7B = 10.5

--------------------------------------

-0.5A = -10.5

A = \frac{-10.5}{-0.5}

A = 21\ gallons

We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.

21 + B = 30

B = 9\ gallons

The radius of a circle is 18 meters. What is the circle's area?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

200.96 sq. meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is \pi r^(2). To solve for the area, use the given values, pi is 3.14 and the radius is 18. This gives you the new equation of (3.14)(18)^2. Solve algebraically, first raising the radius to the power of 2, and then multiplying.
