<u>Answer:</u>

x = 14

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that A, B and C are collinear points and B is in between A and C.

The length from A to B is $3 x$ , length from B to C is $2x - 7$ and AC is $2 x + 35$ .

We are to find the value of x.

$A B + B C = A C$

$3 x + 2 x - 7 = 2 x + 3 5$

$3 x + 2 x - 2 x = 3 5 + 7$

$3 x = 4 2$

$x = \frac { 4 2 } { 3 }$

x = 14

A large mixing tank initially contains 1000 gallons of water in which 30 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another brine solut

serg [7]

Answer:

(B) $\dfrac{dA}{dt}=8-0.004A$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of fluid in the tank =1000 gallons

Initial Amount of Salt in the tank, A(0)= 30 pounds

Incoming brine solution of concentration 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped in at a rate of 4 gallons per minute.

Rate In=(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)

$=(2\frac{lbs}{gal})( 4\frac{gal}{min})=8\frac{lbs}{min}$

The resulting mixture is pumped out at the same rate, therefore:

Rate Out =(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)

$=(\frac{A(t)}{1000})( 4\frac{gal}{min})=\frac{A}{250}$

Therefore:

The rate of change of amount of salt in the tank,

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}=$Rate In-Rate out\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}=8-\dfrac{A}{250}\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}=8-0.004A$

George bought 2.5 pounds of each type of fruit shown on the sign apples $1.30/lb,grapes $1.65/lb,bananas $0.49/lb.what was the t

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s find the cost for each item

Apples: 2.5 x 1.30 = 3.25

Grapes: 2.5 x 1.65 = 4.125

Bananas: 2.5 x 0.49 = 1.225

Now we will add all the costs which will give use our total!

3.25 + 4.125 + 1.225 = 8.6

So the answer will be $8.60

The length and width of a rectangle are consecutive integers. The perimeter of the

Hunter-Best [27]

The length of the rectangle is 9 feet and the width of the rectangle is 10 feet.

<h3>What is the Perimeter of a Rectangle?</h3>

The sum of a rectangle's boundary lengths on all sides is known as its perimeter. A rectangle's perimeter is a linear measurement that can be expressed in meters, feet, inches, or yards. Let's first comprehend the two fundamental characteristics of a rectangle.

A rectangle has four 90° angles.
The lengths of a rectangle's diagonals are equal.

Let the length of the rectangle be x feet

Then, the width of the rectangle will be x+1feet

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P= 2(l+w)

Here

P= perimeter of a rectangle

l=length of the rectangle

w= width of the rectangle

Put l=x, w= x+1 and P= 38 in the perimeter formula

38 = 2(x+x+1)

Divide both sides by 2

19= x+x+1

19= 2x+1

Subtract 1 from both sides

18=2x

Divide both sides by 2

x=9 feet

This is the length of the rectangle.

Now, the width x+1 of the rectangle will be

9+1 = 10 feet
