For this case we have the following equation:

3q + 5 + 2q - 5 = 65.

We must find the value of the variable q:

We add similar terms:

3q + 2q + 5-5 = 65\\5q + 0 = 65\\5q = 65

We divide between 5 on both sides of the equation:

\frac {5q} {5} = \frac {65} {5}\\q = 13

So, the value of q is 13

Answer:

q = 13

Answer:

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x+2)^2 -6

-18 = a(-2)^2 - 6

-12 = 4a

a = -3

y = -3(x+2)^2 - 6

Emily has 32 grams of a 25% sugar syrup, but this is just too sweet for her! How much pure water should she add to have a 10% sy
GarryVolchara [31]
32 grams = water mass + sugar mass . 100% syrup=75% water+ 25%sugar 
original water content= 32*75/100=24 grams
original sugar content= 32*25/100= 8grams 

total mass at 10% syrup:
8grams/total mass=10%=0.1
total mass=8/0.1=80grams
total mass of water=80grams- 8grams of sugar content= 72 grams
total mass of water added=72grams- 24grams original water content= 48grams.

answer: 48grams

1. Stephanie would like to make a 5 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of peanuts and se
Crazy boy [7]
Answers:

(a) p + m = 5
     0.8m = 2

(b) 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture

Explanations:

(a) Note that we just need to mix the following to get the desired mixture:

     - peanut (p) - peanuts whose amount is p
     - mixture (m) - mixture (80% almonds and 20% peanuts) that has an amount of m; we denote this as

By mixing the peanuts (p) and the mixture (m), we combine their weights and equate it 5 since the mixture has a total of 5 lb.

Hence, 

p + m = 5

Note that the desired 5-lb mixture has 40% almonds. Thus, the amount of almonds in the desired mixture is 2 lb (40% of 5 lb, which is 0.4 multiplied by 5).

Moreover, since the mixture (m) has 80% almonds, the weight of almonds that mixture is 0.8m.

Since we mix mixture (m) with the pure peanut to get the desired mixture, the almonds in the desired mixture are also the almonds in the mixture (m). 
So, we can equate the amount of almonds in mixture (m) to the amount of almonds in the desired measure.

In terms mathematical equation,

0.8m = 2 

Hence, the system of equations that models the situation is 

p + m = 5
0.8m = 2

(b) To solve the system obtained in (a), we first label the equations for easy reference,

(1) p + m = 5
(2) 0.8m = 2

Note that using equation (2), we can solve the value of m by dividing both sides of (2) by 0.8. By doing this, we have

m = 2.5

Then, we substitute the value of m to equation (1) to solve for p:

p + m = 5
p + 2.5 = 5   (3)

To solve for p, we subtract both sides of equation (3) by 2.5. Thus,

p = 2.5

Hence, 

m = 2.5, p = 2.5

Therefore, the solution to the system is 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture.
