Answer:

the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following system of equations.

We will use elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x, y and z.

2x + 2y + 5z = 7 eq(1)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9 eq(2)

2x + 3y + 5z = 6 eq(3)

Subtracting eq(1) and eq(3)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2x + 3y + 5z = 6

- - - -

_____________

0 -y + 0 = 1

-y = 1

=> y = -1

Subtracting eq(2) and eq(3)

6x + 8y + 5z = 9

2x + 3y + 5z = 6

- - - -

______________

4x + 5y +0z = 3

4x + 5y = 3 eq(4)

Putting value of y = -1 in equation 4

4x + 5y = 3

4x + 5(-1) = 3

4x -5 = 3

4x = 3+5

4x = 8

x= 8/4

x = 2

Putting value of x=2 and y=-1 in eq(1)

2x + 2y + 5z = 7

2(2) + 2(-1) + 5z = 7

4 -2 + 5z = 7

2 + 5z = 7

5z = 7 -2

5z = 5

z = 5/5

z = 1

So, the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1

How many gallons of a 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 100 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% a

Blababa [14]

To Find :

How many gallons of a 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 100 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifreeze.

Solution :

Let, x gallons of 80% antifreeze solution is required :

So,

$(x \times 80) + ( 100 \times 20 ) = (x + 100 )\times 70\\\\8x + 200 = 7( x + 100)\\\\x = 500$

Therefore, 500 gallons of 80% antifreeze solution is required.

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 193ml of sucrose and 61ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of

Brilliant_brown [7]

<h3>Answer is the ratio 1000:193:61</h3>

Explanation

1 liter = 1000 mL

For every 1000 mL of water, we need 193 mL of sucrose and 61 mL of saline solution.

The ratio is therefore 1000:193:61

We cannot simplify this ratio any further because the GCF of those three terms is 1.

A quick way to see this is to look at how 1000 = (2*5)^3 has prime factors 2 and 5, but 2 nor 5 are factors of 193 and 61. So only 1 is a factor of all three values 1000, 193, 61

If x is a positive integer, for how many different values of x is sqrt48/x a whole number?

slava [35]

Answer:

The only possible values of x that fulfill with both conditions are 3, 12 and 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What are the positive integers? Also know as the whole numbers or the counting numbers. They start from 1, and continue to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, etc.

2. What are the whole numbers? The definition of whole numbers is that they are the number with no fractions or decimals.

3. According to those definitions, x must be a positive integer and the result of √48/x, must be a whole number.

4. For fulfilling the first condition, x must be only a value from 1 to 48.

5. For fulfilling the second condition, the result of √48/x must be a whole number. It means it must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. From 7 is not possible to continue because those numbers are bigger than 48, for example √49, √64, √81, √100 and so on, and it would be impossible to fulfill with the first condition.

6. So, we have just 6 possible options (√48/x = 1, √48/x = 2, √48/x = 3, √48/x = 4, √48/x = 5 and √48/x =6). Let's review in detail one by one.

√48/x = 1, Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? Yes, it's. It's 48. 

√48/x = 1 and let's replace x by 48.

√48/48 = √1 = 1

√48/x = 2, Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? Yes, it's. It's 12. 

√48/x = 2 and let's replace x by 12.

√48/12 = √4 = 2

√48/x = 3, Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? No, it isn't.

There isn't any whole number that allow us to fulfill with this: √48/x = √9 = 3

√48/x = 4, Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? Yes, it's. It's 3.

√48/x = 4 and let's replace x by 3.

√48/3 = √16 = 4

√48/x = 5 Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? No, it isn't.

There isn't any whole number that allow us to fulfill with this: √48/x = √25 = 5

√48/x =6 Is there any value of x for fulfilling both conditions? No, it isn't.

There isn't any whole number that allow us to fulfill with this: √48/x = √36 = 6.

The only possible values of x that fulfill with both conditions are 3, 12 and 48.
