\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"

Triangle EFG has coordinates E (0, 0), F (0, 2), and G (3, 0). If ΔEFG ≅ ΔXYZ, what is the measure of XY?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since EFG and XYZ are congruent, we can write it like this:

E = X

F = Y

G = Z

Due to E and F being two units apart on the coordinate plane, we can conclude X and Y are also at a measurement of 2 units! Hope this helps!

Systems of Linear Equations What are the different ways to solve a system of linear equations? When do you get an answer to a sy
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Different ways to solve a system of linear equations:

  • isolate one variable in one equation and replace it in the other equation
  • multiply/divide one equation by a constant and then add/subtract it to the other one, so that only one variable remains
  • graph the equation and look at the intersection point

If you graph the system:

  • there is only one solution if the lines intersects at only one point
  • there is no solution if the lines don't intersect each other (they are parallel)
  • there are infinitely many solutions if the lines overlap each other (they are the same equation multiplied by some constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st system

y = -x – 7  

y = 4/3 x – 7  

solution: x= 0, y = 7

2nd system

y = -3x – 5  

y = x + 3  

solution: x = -2, y = 1

3rd system

y = -2x + 5  

y = 1/3 x – 2

solution:  x = 3, y = -1

4th system

3x + 2y = 2  

x + 2y = -2  

solution: x = 2, y = -2

5th system

x + 3y = -9  

2x – y = -4

solution:  x = -3, y = -2

6th system

x – 2y = 2

-x + 4y = -8

solution:  x = -4, y = -3

7th system

5x + y = -2  

x + y = 2

solution: x = -1, y = -3
