Brine is a solution of salt and water. If a tub contains 50 gallons of a 5% solution of brine, how much water must evaporate to

change it to an 8% solution?

<span><span>Let x = amt of water evaporated

.05(50) = .08(50-x)
2.5 = 4 - .08x
.08x = 4 - 2.5
.08x = 1.5
x = 
x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated

Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right?
.05(50) = .08(50-18.75)
.05(50) = .08(31.25)
2.5 = 2.5</span><span>

Which graph describes the relation {(5, 1), (1, –2), (0, –1), (–3, 2)}?
UNO [17]

The graph represents a relation provided  R =  {(5, 1), (1, –2), (0, –1), (–3, 2)}

<h3>What is an ordered double?</h3>

It is defined as a representation of coordinates in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. It has a list of two elements in it, such as (x, y).

We have a relation:

R = {(5, 1), (1, –2), (0, –1), (–3, 2)}

We can represent it on a coordinate plane as (x, y)

After plotting on a coordinate plane we will get a graph of a relation

R =  {(5, 1), (1, –2), (0, –1), (–3, 2)}

Thus, the graph represents a relation provided  R =  {(5, 1), (1, –2), (0, –1), (–3, 2)}

You need to design a rectangle with a perimeter of 14.2 cm. The length must be 2.4 cm. What is the width of the
irina1246 [14]

Part (a)

<h3>Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>

--------------

Explanation:

L = 2.4 = length

W = unknown width

The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)

We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

========================================================

Part (b)

<h3>Answer:   w = 4.7</h3>

--------------

Explanation:

We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)

2(2.4+w) = 14.2

2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2

4.8+2w = 14.2

2w = 14.2-4.8

2w = 9.4

w = 9.4/2

w = 4.7

The width must be 4.7 cm.

Find the value of X
olchik [2.2K]
<h3>Answer:  112</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The angle adjacent to the 146 degree angle is 180-146 = 34 degrees.

In other words, the angles 34 and 146 combine to 180. These angles are supplementary.

The tickmarks on this triangle tell us it is isosceles. The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent angles. So the unmarked interior angles (not marked x) are 34 degrees each.

Now use the fact that any triangle has its interior angles always add to 180

x+34+34 = 180

x+68 = 180

x = 180-68

x = 112

Write an equation for your trend line?
Soloha48 [4]
Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.

Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8

Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)

You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.

x0 = 1
y0 = 10

Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)

The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.

y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8
