If someone could help me with it would be greatly appreciated. A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A a

nd Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 60% salt and Solution B is 85% salt. She wants to obtain 40 ounces of a mixture that is 70% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

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

Which of the following sets of values correctly completes the t-chart for the equation y = 2x2 - 1.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The sets of values that correctly completes the t-chart are:

7, -1, 7

Hence, option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

y = 2x² - 1

FOR x = -2

substitute x = -2 in the equation

y = 2x² - 1

y = 2(-2)² - 1

y = 8 - 1

y = 7

FOR x = 0

substitute x = 0 in the equation

y = 2x² - 1

y = 2(0)² - 1

y = -1

FOR x = 2

substitute x = 2 in the equation

y = 2x² - 1

y = 2(2)² - 1

y = 8 - 1

y = 7

Thus, the t-chart becomes:

x              y

-2            7

0             -1

2              7

Thus, the sets of values that correctly completes the t-chart are:

7, -1, 7

Hence, option B is true.
