A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. She has a 50% acid solution and a 90% acid solution she can mix together

to make the 60% solution.
Let x represent the number of liters of the 50% solution.
Let y represent the number of liters of the 90% solution.
Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?
Question 3 options:
x + y = 6
x + y = 10
0.5x + 0.9y = 6
0.5x + 0.9y = 10

Answer:

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Liters of 60% acid solution needed = 10

x = Number of liters of the 50% solution

y = Number of liters of the 90% solution

2. Which equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed?

There are two equations needed:

The first one related to the total liters needed, 10 in this case:

x + y = 10

The second one related to the acid concentration of the 10 liters:

0.5x + 0.9y = 10 * 0.6

0.5x + 0.9y = 6

<u>The equations system is:</u>

<u>x + y = 10</u>

<u>0.5x + 0.9y = 6</u>

Solving for x and y in the 2nd equation, we have:

0.5 (10 - y) + 0.9y = 6

5 - 0.5y + 0.9y = 6

0.4y = 6 - 5

0.4y = 1

y = 1/0.4 = 2.5 ⇒ x = 7.5 (10 - 2.5)

The scientist can mix 7.5 liters of the 50% acid solution and 2.5 liters of the 90% acid solution to get the 10 liters of the 60% acid solution.

1) Graph y = f(x) = 3(2)%. Adjust the equation to make the y-intercept (0, -3). Which response is not correct?
Karolina [17]

Using the concept of y-intercept, it is found that the response that is not correct is given by:

B) Replace x with -x.

<h3>What is the y-intercept of a function?</h3>

It is the value of the function when x = 0, hence it is the point (0, f(0)).

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = 3(2)^x

The y-intercept is given by:

f(0) = 3(2)^0 = 3

If we just replace x with -x, we still have the same expression as above, hence the y-intercept does not change and option B is the answer to this question.

Find the measure of &lt;3
sattari [20]
Keeping in mind that, a circle has a total of 360°, so if we split it in 6 equal angles with that hexagon, we'll end up with 60° angles, and with 6 equilateral triangles.

check the picture below.

Find the area of the figure. RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY
katrin [286]

Answer:

56 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

You cut up the figure into 2 distinctive rectangles where it looks like one small rectangle is intersecting a larger one.

So you would do

4(4 + 4 + 4) = 4(12) = 48 yd²

2(4) = 8 yd²

Add

8 + 48 = 56

56 yd²

Hope this helps! :)
