\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\
\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)
\end{array}

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus  (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"

Hey help me with this question plzzzz
Wittaler [7]
<h3>Two Answers: choice C, choice D</h3>

Look at where we don't have repeating x values. This happens with function C and function D. All the x values are unique for each choice mentioned.

In choices A, B, and E, the value x = -3 repeats itself. So we don't have a function for either of these. A function is only possible if any input (x) leads to exactly one output (y).

Which of the following sample types should you always regard as unreliable? A) voluntary response samples 18) 9 simple random sa
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The type of sample that can be considered unreliable is type (a), in which responses are voluntary.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of sample that can be considered unreliable is type (a), in which responses are voluntary.

It can be considered unreliable because being voluntary, the answers will give a biased result and the analysis will not be valid.

The rest of the options, if the necessary collections are taken, are samples that can be considered reliable.

Intercepts:
Tema [17]
An x-intercept is the point where the function passes the x axis at y=0.
The y-intercept is the point where the function crosses the y axis at x=0

1. It is an x-intercept, so y = 0. The ordered pair would be (-6, 0)
2. It is a y-intercept, so x = 0. The ordered pair would be (0, -2.3)
3. It is a y-intercept, so x=0. The ordered pair would be (0, 3/4)

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0. To find the y-intercept, set x=0

4. y-intercept: y = 3(0) -9. y = -9 The y-intercept is at (0, -9)
x-intercept: 0 = 3x -9. 9 = 3x. x = 3. The x-intercept is at (3, 0)

5. x intercept: 0 = 5x +10. -10 = 5x. x = -2. The x-intercept is at (-2, 0)
y-intercept: y = 5(0) + 10. y = 10. The y-intercept is at (0, 10)

If you look at finding the y-intercepts in the two problems above, you may see there is a pattern forming. The y-intercept is the number that your adding or subtracting that is located after the x (ex. y = 4x - 2 - the y-intercept would be -2)

9. First, find the x and y-intercepts. The y intercept is -3 You’d graph that at (0, -3). 0 = -1/2x - 3. -1/2x = 3. x = -6 so the x-intercept is at (-6, 0). If you only need to graph 2 points, then you can graph just those two points and draw a line between them.

To graph y=-1/2x + 3, start at the y-intercept and use the slope (-1/2) to find other points. Because your slope is -1/2, you’d go down 1 unit and then to the right 2 units. That would be your next point. If you wanted your line to go further up, go up one unit and then to the left 2 units. That would be your next point.

I am not sure what you need to do on 11 and 12

I think you should try 7, 8 and 10 on your own and let me know if you have any questions on them or if you are stuck on anything.
