Let's say we'll mix "x" amount of the 80% solution, how much antifreeze is in it? well is just 80% of antifreeze, and the rest is something else.... what's 80% of "x"? so is (80/100)*x, or 0.8x.

likewise, the mixture will be a 70% solution, and let's say it adds up to "y" amount, so how much antifreeze is in it? well (70/100) * y or 0.7y.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{gallons}{amount}&\stackrel{\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{antifreeze}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{80\% sol'n}&x&0.80&0.8x\\
\textit{10\% sol'n}&100&0.10&10\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.70&0.7y
\end{array}

so whatever "x" is, we know that x + 100 = y.

and we know that 0.8x + 10 = 0.7y.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+100=\boxed{y}\\
0.8x+10=0.7y\\
----------\\
0.8x+10=0.7\left( \boxed{x+100} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.8x+10=0.7x+70\implies 0.8x-0.7x=70-10\implies 0.1x=60
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{60}{0.1}\implies x=600

Answer:

126 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If your drawing is on a 1 : 40 scale, to find the scale's height, divide the ride's height by 40.

420 / 40 = 10.5

So the drawing will be 10.5 feet tall.

To convert 10.5 feet to inches, multiply it by 12.

10.5 * 12 = 126 inches

nlexa [21]
Rime: A number with exactly two factors; one and itself. What does this mean? This means that for us to call a number prime, only two whole numbers can divide into it without a remainder.

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

well from the theorem we have

\frac{15}{3}=\frac{x}{6}

yes i know you could say that the right way is

\frac{3}{15}=\frac{6}{x}

well if you notice they are the same only that in my way the x is in the numerator which means it will be far easier to know it's value :)

so

\frac{15}{3}=\frac{x}{6}\\\\5=\frac{x}{6}\\\\6[5]=6[\frac{x}{6}]\\\\30=x
