Answer:

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is the ounces of Solution A, and b is the ounces of Solution B, then:

a + b = 160

0.45a + 0.95b = 0.60(160)

Solve the system of equations.  Using substitution:

0.45a + 0.95(160 − a) = 0.60(160)

0.45a + 152 − 0.95a = 96

56 = 0.5a

a = 112

b = 48

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Answer:

g = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find the slope you do:</em>

m = change in y ÷ change in x or (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)

  • x1 = 4, y1 = -7
  • x2 = g, y2 = -3
  • m (the slope) = 2

<em>Sub in the values:</em>

2 = (-3 - -7) ÷ (g - 4) - we can simplify this

2 = (4) ÷ (g - 4)

4 divided by what gives us 2? 2. This means that g - 4 = 2, g = 2 + 4 which is 6:

g = 6

Hope this helps!

Which numbers are 4 units from -2 on the number line
Artemon [7]

Let the number be x


Then the absolute value of the number from -2 should be 4


|x--2|=4


|x+2|=4


So either



(x+2)=4


x=4-2=2


Or


-(x+2)=4


x+2=-4



x=-4-2



x=-6



[tex] <B>The numbers are 2 and -6</B> [/tex[


They are four units away from -2 on the number line
