D is not equivalent
hope this helps :)
1. <span>-0.9x+2.8=4.1
First subtract 2.8 from both sides.
-0.9x = 1.3
Now divide both sides by -0.9.
x = -1.4444..
This can be rounded to -1.44
</span><span>c) -1.44
2. Jordan has 650 pennies. He'll give 85 to his brother and split the rest with his sister.
</span>d) 85+2x=650
Answer:
Not sure if this is right but 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 37,746ft (at 60 second mark) by 9,872ft (at 30 second mark) and as it asks for per second, 37,746-9,874=27,872 27,872/30= 929.1
My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
