The 10 tons should have 37.9% cement.

Let the 25% mixture be x tons

Then the 68% mixture will be (10 -x) tons.

Using formula for mixtures:
Let p for percentage and w for weight in tons.

p₁w₁ + p₂w₂ = pw

25*x + 68*(10-x) = 37.9*10

25x + 680 - 68x = 379

680 - 43x = 379

680 - 379 = 43x

301 = 43x

43x = 301

x = 301/43

x = 7

Recall that x, was for the 25% mixture, 7 tons.

a) For the 68% mixture, = 10 - x = 10 -7 = 3 tons.

b) For the 25% mixture = x = 7 tons.

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920

How do I do this problem I am stuck .
marta [7]
1) Add 9 to both sides. On the left side of the equal sign it will cancel out. on the right side of the equal sign because it is now a different sign equation you subtract -193 from 9 which equals -184
2) now you are left with to= -184
to get the variable by itself you need to divide both sides by 4. on the left side of the equal sign you have p by itself now , on the right you divide -184 by 4 and your answer comes out to be p= -46
3) p= -46 is your final answer!

Derivative of square root 24x
Andrews [41]
Think of it as (24x)^1/2 then use chain rule. Which means first derive (24x)^1/2 as deriving u^1/2 (substitute u for 24x), then deriving 24x, finally write those 2 derivatives as a multiplication (as in a*b).
