Hi,
Let's say we need x mg from 1st compound, and y mg from 2nd compound.

0.20 × x + 0.40 × y = 40mg
0.30 × x + 0.20 × y = 30mg

0.20(x + 2y) = 40. => x + 2y = 200 => 2y=200-x
0.10(3x +2y) = 30. => 3x + 2y = 300

3x + (200 - x) = 300
2x = 100
x =50mg

50 + 2y = 200
2y = 150
y =75mg

What is the value of x?<br><br><br> 68<br><br> 32<br><br> 54<br><br> 36
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A) 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <em>Exterior Angle Theorem</em>.

The Exterior Angle theorem states that the exterior angle's measurement will be equal that of the two opposite interior angles.

Set the equation. Note that you are given the exterior angle and one interior angle:

58 + x = 126

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 58 from both sides of the equation:

x + 58 (-58) = 126 (-58)

x = 126 - 58

x = 68

A) 68 is your answer.

Alfredo tiene 36 cromos más que Iván, y si comprará 10 más , tendría el triple . ¿Cuantos cromos tiene cada uno?
ololo11 [35]

Respuesta:

Alfredo = 59 pegatinas

Ivan = 23 pegatinas

Explicación paso a paso:

Dejar :

Pegatinas de Alfred = a

Pegatinas de Ivan = b

a = b + 36 - - - (1)

a + 10 = 3b- - - (11)

De 1)

a = b + 36

Ponga a = b + 36 en (11)

b + 36 + 10 = 3b

b + 46 = 3b

46 = 3b - b

46 = 2b

b = 23

a = b + 36

a = 23 + 36

a = 59

Alfredo = 59 pegatinas

Ivan = 23 pegatinas

Read the following description of a
Annette [7]

Answer:

\sf a = \boxed{\bf 1}  \ n+ \boxed{\bf 3}

Explanation:

\sf \underline{rate} \ = \ \sf \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \   = \  \dfrac{rise}{run}  \ = \  \dfrac{11-10}{8-7}   \ = \  \underline{1}

<u>Equation</u>:

\Rightarrow \sf a - a1 = m(n - n1)

\Rightarrow \sf a - 10 = 1(n -7)

\Rightarrow  \sf a = n - 7 + 10

\Rightarrow \sf a = n + 3

Joe bought a box of laundry detergent that contains 195 scoops.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

78 laundries

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If the box contains 195 scoops and at once he uses 2 1/2 you have to divide 195 by 2 1/2 and you get 78.

How much is he paying for each load? you have to find the unit rate. The box costs $19.99 he can do 78 laundries at once so you divide the money by the quantity or in other words $19.99 by 78 and get 0.2562820512820513, since we are talking about money we use only the firs two decimals, so he pays $0.25 per load of laundry.
