You need one equation of this problem to balance the amount of a boric acid.

The amount of boric acid in 50% solution is expressed as 0.50*x

Next, the amount of water is taken from 25 liters and x (based on 50% solution), that is 25 - x. However, there is NO amount of BORIC ACID in water, and that is 0.

For the output solution, the amount of boric acid will be 0.10*2.5 = 2.5

Then, the balance equation is
0.50*x + 0*(25 - x) = 2.5
Solving for x,
0.50*x + 0 = 2.5
x = 2.5/0.5 = 5

Therefore the amount of liters in 50% solution is
5*0.50 = 2.5 liters
The amount of water is 25 - 5 = 20 liters

Answer:

20 liters of water and 5 liters of 50% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance the amount of acid:

amount of 50% solution: x liters  

amount of acid in 50% solution: .5x liters (concentration * volume)

amount of water: 25 - x liters (since 25 altogether, and x is 50% solution)

amount of acid in water: 0

final solution: 25 liters

amount of acid in final 10% solution: .10 * 25 = 2.5

balance the "goes into" and the "comes outta"

.50x + 0 = 2.5

x = 2.5 / .5 = 5

therefore 5 liters of 50% solution (for 2.5 liters of acid)

mixed with 25 - 5 = 20 liters of water

will yield 25 liters of a 10% solution (2.5 liters of acid)

Answer:

U =35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp/ adj

tan U = 5/7

Take the inverse of each side

tan ^-1 tan U = tan ^-1 (5/7)

U = 35.53767779

Round to the nearest tenth

U =35.5

the 41st term of the arithmetic sequence is -539 and the 54th term is -708. Find the value of the 80th term
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a _{n} = a _{1} + (n - 1)d \\ a _{41} =  - 534 \\ a _{54} =  - 708 \\  a _{41} =  a _{1} + (41 - 1)d = - 534  \\  a _{1} + 40d = - 534 \:  \: ...(1)\\ a _{54} =  a _{1} + (54 - 1)d =- 708 \\ a _{1} + 53d = - 708 \:  \: ...(2)

Try to solve the similtanious equation to find the first term and the common difference, then use that information to figure out the 80th term... Update me if you need further help ...

Answer:

<em>The perimeter is 72 units and the area is 149 square units.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle SBA has coordinates S(15,-8),B(-2,21) and A(0,0)

Using the distance formula.........

Length of side SB = \sqrt{(15+2)^2+(-8-21)^2}= \sqrt{17^2+(-29)^2}= \sqrt{1130}

Length of side BA= \sqrt{(-2)^2+(21)^2}= \sqrt{445}

Length of side AS =\sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}=\sqrt{289}=17

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be:  (SB+BA+AS)= \sqrt{1130}+ \sqrt{445}+17 =71.71... \approx 72 units.   <em>(Rounded to the nearest unit)</em>

The height of the triangle for the corresponding base SB is 8.89 units.

<u>Formula for the Area of triangle</u>,  A= \frac{1}{2}(base\times height)

So, the area of the \triangle SBA will be:  \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1130}\times 8.89)= 149.42... \approx 149 square units.   <em>(Rounded to the nearest unit)</em>
