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

Whats (4.2×10^6)+(2.25 × 10^5) in scientific form
lys-0071 [83]
We are going to rewrite both numbers:
 (4.2 × 10 ^ 6) = 4200000
 (2.25 × 10 ^ 5) = 225000
 Adding we have:
 4200000 + 225000 = 4425000
 Rewriting in exponential notation we have:
 4425000 = 4,425 * 10 ^ 6
 Answer:
 
(4.2 × 10 ^ 6) + (2.25 × 10 ^ 5) is equal to:
 
4,425 * 10 ^ 6

Write the equation of the circle graphed below
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The equation of the circle is

(x + 2)² + (y + 2)² = 9

Centered at (-2, -2), with radius of 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle is given as

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is the radius.

Looking at the graph, the center is the red dot. It corresponds to -2 on the y-axis, and -2 on the x-axis. So, the center (h, k) is (-2, -2).

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle. The red dot is the edge of the circle, there are 3 lines that represent 3 units, so we have a radius of 3 units.

Using these in the general equation, we have

[x - (-2)]² + [y - (-2)]² = 3²

(x + 2)² + (y + 2)² = 9

And this is the equation.
