Well, what is the perimeter? Does it tell you what the perimeter is? If not, i can't help:(
You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
-7, because you distribute it to both -4 and 3.2, which means you're multiplying it to both.
Answer: a. gregory b. linus
step by step explanation:
ANSWER
Find out the how much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
To proof
let us assume that the fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze be x .
As given
A radiator contains 10 quarts of fluid, 30% of which is antifreeze.
Now write 30% in the decimal form

Now write 60% in the decimal form

After drained and replaced the fluid with pure antifreeze than the quantity becomes = ( 10 - x )
The quantity of antifreeze is

The fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
than the equation becomes

solyving
100x +300 - 30x = 600
70x = 300

x = 4.28 quarts (approx)
Hence 4.28 quarts (approx) fluid should be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze so that the new mixture is 60% antifreeze .
Therefore the option (c.) is correct .
