use the Pythagoras theorem method
a squared plus b squared equals c square
Steps to solve:
5x² = 15x
~Subtract 15x to both sides
5x² - 15x = 15x - 15x
~Simplify
5x² - 15x = 0
~Factor left side
5x(x - 3) = 0
~Factors equal 0
5x = 0 and x - 3 = 0
___________
~Simplify 5x = 0
5x/5 = 0/5
x = 0
~Simplify x - 3 = 0
x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
x = 3
___________
Thus, the correct answer is 0, 3.
___________
Best of Luck!
Remark
It looks like all you want is question 6. If that is the case, there are two ways to do it.
Algebra
<u>First answer</u>
abs(b - 22) = 5 Equate to + 5
b - 22 = 5 Add 22 to both sides.
b = 5 + 22
b = 27
<u>Second Answer</u>
Equate to - 5
b - 22 = -5
b = 22 - 5
b = 17
Method Two
<u>Graph the question</u>
The graph y = abs(b - 22) is shown below in red.
The values of y when y =5 are shown in blue.
1)We need to know the amount of yellow tint in the old mixture.
amount of yellow tint=30% of 40 liters
30%=30/100=0.3
Amount of yellow tint=0.3(40 liters)=12 liters.
2)We need to find the amount of yellow tint in the new mixture.
amount of yellow tint in the new mixture=12 liters + 9 liters=21 liters.
3) we calculate the amount of the new mixture:
amount of new mixture=40 liters + 9 liters=49 liters
4) we compute the percent of yellow tint in the new mixture:
percent of yellow tint =(amount of yellow tint / amount of mixture)*100
percent of yellow tint=(21 liters / 49 liters)100≈42.9%
Answer: The percent of yellow tint in the new mixture is 42.9%.
note: if this answer is not correct you can try it with 42.8%
Answer:
True
