Answer:

16 for Sol A and 24 for Sol B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 40        y = 40 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(40)

.60x + .85y = 30      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 3000

60x + 85(40 - x) = 3000

60x + 3400 - 85x = 3000

-25x = -400

x = 16 ounces

y = 40 - 16

y = 24 ounces

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the adult weight, multiply 12 by 5.

Since 12 pounds is 20% of the adult weight, 100% of the adult weight would be 12 times 5.

12(5)

= 60

So, the adult weight of the puppy will be 60 pounds

Pleasee! Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? Assume the denominator does not equal zero.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A. 2y^4 over x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^4y^6 ÷ 7x^8y^2

First, you will find the GCF of the equation which is: 7x^4y^2 .

Then, you will divide both of the equation by the GCF which will become:

14x^4y^6 ÷ 7x^4y^2 = 2y^4

7x^8y^2 ÷ 7x^4y^2 = x^2

Hence, the final answer is 2y^4 over x^2

A web site charges $0.99 to download a game and a 12.49 membership fee.write an expression that gives the total cost in dollars
icang [17]

Hello!

To write this equation we will use c to represent the total cost, and g to represent however many games you download.

c=12.49+0.99g

The constant rate is 12.49, that will never increase or change in our equation.

Depending on how many games you download, that will be the rate that affects our total cost.

If you only purchase one game, you only spend $13.48. Where as if you buy 10 games, you spend $22.39.

What is the value of x in the equation 2x+7=1
iogann1982 [59]
2x + 7 = 1

Subtract 7 on both sides

2x = 1 - 7

2x = -6

Divide both sides by 2

x = -6/2

x = -3

Your answer is \boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\bf{x=-3}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
