Answer:

Austin should use 8.2 gallons of 65% acid solution and 3.8 gallons 5% acid solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the gallons of 65% acid solution needed

y ----> the gallons of 5% acid solution needed

Remember that

46\%=46/100=0.46

65\%=65/100=0.65

5\%=5/100=0.05

we know that

x+y=12 -----> equation A

0.65x+0.05y=0.46(12) -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is (8.2,3.8)

therefore

Austin should use 8.2 gallons of 65% acid solution and 3.8 gallons 5% acid solution

Complete Question

In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-point shots. In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half. Which expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game?

a) 2x + 3x + 9

b) 2x + 3 + 9

c) 2x + 3x + 9x

d) 2 + 3x + 9

Answer:

a) 2x + 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points shots a player scores = x

In a free throw, the player scored 9 points = 9

The player also scored a number of 2-point shots = 2x

In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half = 3x

The expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game =

2x + 3x + 9

The following function represents the value of a house, in dollars, after x years: f(x) = 242,000(1.04)x What does 1.04 represen
zmey [24]
The number 1.04 represents the rate at which the house appreciates, or increases in its price annually.

As according to the values of an exponential equation, which is represented by this: y=ab^x, the a value represents the original price, the b value represents the rate of growth/decay (if growth, you add 1 to the rate, if decay, you subtract the rate from 1), and x represents the amount of times it decays or grows.

As according to the function <span> f(x) = 242,000(1.04)^x, 242,000 is the original price and 1.04 is the rate of growth since 1 has been added to the the 4% annual growth.</span>
