Your answer is B) 1.05 x 10 5
Since 20 total gallons are needed, the amount of 10% solutions can be x and the amount of 20% solutions can be (20-x) since they add up to 20. In addition, the 17% solution has 20 gallons. Putting this into an equation, we get that 10% is 0.1 (by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left) , 0.2=20%, and 0.17=17%. With that information, we can determine that 10%*x+20%*(20-x)=20*0.17 due to that with 20 gallons of the 27% solution, we need a certain amount of solution. For every gallon, we add 0.17 of the solution, so we have 20*0.17. Similarly, we want that total amount to be represented by the amount of 20% + the amount of 10%.
0.1x+0.2(20-x)=0.1x+4-0.2x=-0.1x+4 using the distributive property
-0.1x+4=20*0.17=3.4. Subtract 4 from both sides to get -0.1x=-0.6, and multiply both sides by -10 (to separate x) to get x=6. Therefore, the amount of 10% solution is 6 gallons and the amount of 20% solution is 20-5=14 gallons
No it does not
Hope this helps
a straight line is 180 degrees so we can find C by subtracting 140 from 180
180-140 = 40 degrees
all 3 inside angles need to equal 180 so now we have
180 = 40 + (2x) + (x+2)
180 = 40 +3x +2
180=42+3x
138=3x
x= 138/3 = 46
check : 2x= 2*46 = 92
x+2 = 46+2 = 48
92 +48 +40 = 180
so x = 46 degrees
so angle B = 2x46 = 92 degrees
