Answer:

   (E)  450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of solution X that must be added to the mix. Then the amount of sugar in the mix is ...

  0.20x +0.40·150 = 0.25(150 +x)

  0.20x +60 = 37.5 +0.25x . . . eliminate parentheses

  22.5 + 0.20x = 0.25x . . . . . . subtract 37.5

  22.5 = 0.05x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20x

  450 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

450 gallons of solution X must be added to make a 25% sugar solution.

Review the debate between former presidents, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. In a three paragraph essay of (4-5 sentences each),
babunello [35]

Answer:

A key turning point in American politics was the election of 1980. It indicated the new electoral power of the suburbs. The success that Reagan had as a conservative would initiate a group of parties because liberals and conservatives would either leave politics or change party affiliations through the 1980s and 1990s. The research shows this caused the 1980 election to be recalled as one of America's best historical events.

Step-by-step explanation:

The League of Women Voters is pleased to welcome President Jimmy Carter, the Democratic Party's candidate for re-election to the Presidency, and Governor Ronald Reagan of California, the Republican Party's candidate for the Presidency. The candidates will debate questions on domestic, economic, foreign policy, and national security issues.

In the debate between sitting president Jimmy Carter and Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, Reagan's arguments and explanations best match the available evidence. Carter claims his policies had reduced the inflation rate by 10% in less than a year and points to the 9 million jobs he had provided to reduce unemployment rates. Reagan refutes this by mentioning that while Carter may have decreased the inflation rate from the beginning of the year, the inflation rate increased from 4.4% at the start of his presidency to almost 12% now. A graph provided by Ed Genuity proves this to be true, therefore current evidence supports Reagan's claim.

In the final week of the 1980 presidential campaign between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican nominee Ronald Reagan, the two candidates held their only debate. And then, during the debate, Reagan posed what has become one of the most important campaign questions of all time: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Carter’s answer was a resounding “NO,” and in the final, crucial days of the campaign, his numbers tanked.

On Election Day, Reagan won a huge popular vote and electoral victory. The “better off” question has been with us ever since. Its simple common sense makes it a great way to think about elections. And yet the answers are rarely simple.
