Answer: 54 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below.

Area =\frac{1}{2} (^{b} 1 + ^{b}2)h

The <em>b's</em> represent the bases which are the parallel sides and <em>h</em> is the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 6 cm and 12 cm and the height is 6 cm. Plugging this information into the formula, we have \frac{1}{2} (6 cm +12cm)(6 cm).

Next, the order of operations tell us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 6 cm + 12 cm is 18 cm and we have \frac{1}{2}(18 cm)(6 cm).

\frac{1}{2} (18 cm) is 9 cm and we have 9 cm · 6 cm of 54 cm²

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 54 cm².

how many ounces of pure water must be added to 50 ounces of a 15% saline solution to make a saline solution that is 10% salt
anygoal [31]

50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.

Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.

You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need

7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1

==>  7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)

==>  7.5 = 0.1x + 5

==>  2.5 = 0.1x

==>  2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

==>  x = 25

Answer:

  92 attendees had activity cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students with activity cards. Then 130-x is the number without, and the total revenue is ...

  7x +10(130 -x) = 1024

  7x +1300 -10x = 1024 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -3x = -276 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms; subtract 1300

  x = 92 . . . . . . divide by 3

92 students with activity cards attended the dance.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

Often, you will see such a problem solved using two equations. For example, they might be ...

Let 'a' represent the number with an activity card; 'w' the number without. Then ...

  • a+w = 130 . . . . the total number of students
  • 7a +10w = 1024 . . . . the revenue from ticket sales

The problem statement asks for the value of 'a', so you want to eliminate w from these equations. You can do that using substitution. Using the first equation to write an expression for w, you have ...

  w = 130-a

and making the substitution into the second equation gives ...

  7a +10(130 -a) = 1024

This should look a lot like the equation we used above. There, we skipped the extra variable and went straight to the single equation we needed to solve.
