Common means similar/alike in this case. to have the highest common factor, you need it to be common with the two numbers. both numbers are negative, so the highest common factor is also negative.

remember, you aren't multiplying/dividing to get a product or quotient; you'r simply looking for a number.

i hope my explanation helped! x

A chemist has 100 g of a 15% saline solution that she wants to strengthen to 29%. The percentage P of salt in the solution by ma
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D., x= 19.7 or ≈20. g

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

When 0 g additional salt is added, x=0. we have

P(0) = [100(15+0)]/(100+0)= 15

x=0, P=15

We can see this point only on the graph D.

P(x) =29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29 = [100(15+x)]/(100+x)

29(100+x) = 100(15+x)

2900+29x = 1500+100x

2900-1500=100x-29x

1400 = 71x

x ≈ 19.7 g  or ≈20. g

From the graph D, we can see that to get 29% we need to add ≈ 20 g of salt.

Mr. Wu rides his bike at 6 mph to the bus station. He then rides the bus to work, averaging 30 mph.
pshichka [43]

Answer:

26 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 20 min to hrs: 20/60 = 1/3 hr

:

Let t = time on the bike

then

t-(1/3) = time on the bus

:

Write a dist equation Dist = speed * time:

:

Bike dist + bus dist = 26 mi

 

6t + 30[t-(1/3)] = 26

:

6t + 30t - 10 = 26

36t = 26 + 10

36t = 36

t = 1 hr on the bike

:

6 mph for 1 h = 6 mi from house to the bus station

:

:

Check solution by finding the distance

6(1) + 30(2/3) =

6 + 20 = 26 mi
