Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are talking about the unknown cost of a shirt AND a sweater, we are dealing with 2 unknowns.  However, we can only have one unknown in a single equation or we cannot solve it.  The cost of the sweater is based on the cost of the shirt, so the shirt will be our "main" unknown.

Cost of the shirt:  x

Since the sweater is $5 more than (this is addition) twice (that is 2 times) the cost of the shirt, the expression for the sweater is 2x + 5

The cost of both is (equals) 65.

x + 2x + 5 = 65 and

3x + 5 = 65 and

3x = 60 so

x = 20

The shirt cost $20 so the sweater had to cost 65 - 20 = 45

A pharmacist wants to mix a 30% saline solution with a 10% saline solution to get 200 mL of a 12% saline solution. How much of e
Bess [88]

Answer:

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

x= 30% volume

y=10% volume

For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum

x+y=200

y=200-x (1)

For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.

12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL

This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.

For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:

Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)

So in 200 mL, we have

0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)

=24g of NaCl

Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24

0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)

Substitute y=200-x into (2)

0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24

0.3x+20-0.1x=24

0.2x=24-20

0.2x=4

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2x/0.2=4/0.2

x=20

Substitute x=20 into (1)

y=200-x

y=200-20

y=180

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL

Which line is the graph of y= -2x+2? D B A C
abruzzese [7]
The answer is b because in y=mx+c, m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. since the y-intercept is 2, we can safely discard d as an option. when a gradient is -2, it is a negative graph which means a and c is out. so, you’re left with b!
