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.

Which of the following polynomial functions is graphed below?
Olegator [25]

Answer: B. f(x)=(x+4)(x-2)^2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

in the graph there's two negative x value and one positive x value

so the function should be in a form of f(x)= (x+a) (x-b)^2 (x+c)

the one with negative value has a square, (x-b)^{2}, because that's where the y = 0 (the point is hitting the (x,0))

Solve 10 + 6(–9 – 4x) = 10(x – 12) + 8.
Luden [163]

Answer: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>first, we remove the parentheses. </em>

10 - 54 - 24x = 10x - 120 + 8

<em>then, we just calculate that out.</em>

-44 - 24x = 10x - 112

<em>next, we move the terms.</em>

-24x - 10x = -112 + 44

<em>then, we collect the like terms and calculate it.</em>

-34x = -68

<em>finally, we divide both sides.</em>

x = 2

What solution do 2x2 - 13x + 21 = 0 and 2x2 + 9x - 56 = 0 have in common? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
lys-0071 [83]
So if we want to know the common solution(s) to a system of 2 equations, So we can just set both equations equal to each other and solve for the x value(s). That’s where I start below;

2x^2-13x+21 = 2x^2+9x-56
2x^2 cancels out and moving everything to one side and anything with an x variable to the other side we have then;
-22x=-77
22x=77 by cancelling the negative signs
x=77/22 therefore x=7/2 or 3.5

Hope this helps you. Any questions please ask.
