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.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!
butalik [34]
The distance between the horizontal legs be the distance between the 'x' values '-5' and '2'. 2+5=7 (It is +5 because the distance between -5 and 0 is 5*) 
The distance between the horizontals is 7

Same with the vertical points, as the distance is 2. (1+1=2)

Considering that the pythagorean theorem is the a^2+b^2=c^2, and 'a' and 'b' are the sides, then you plug in '7' and '2', making the equation 7^2+2^2=c^2
49+4=c^2
53=c^2
c=sqrt(53)
Hope this helps.

Answer:

$42.26

Tom spent more on tax ($1.54 vs his cousin's $0.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom: $22 x 1.07 = $23.54

tax spent = 22 x 0.07 = $1.54


Cousin: $18 x 1.04 = $18.72

tax spent = 18 x 0.04 = $0.72

Solve for x
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

C. x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem the best way is to use the quadratic formula. First make everything equal to 0 by adding 3 to both sides.

3x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0

The quadratic formula is: \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}. Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the formula. Keep in mind:

  • a = 3
  • b = -6
  • c = 3

\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(3)} }{2(3)} \rightarrow \frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-4(9)} }{6} \rightarrow \frac{6\pm\sqrt{0} }{6} \rightarrow \frac{1\pm0}{1} \rightarrow 1

Therefore, x = 1.
