Answer:

<u>The chemistry class mixed 120 gallons of 12% isopropyl alcohol and 180 gallons of 42% isopropyl alcohol.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Amount of isopropyl alcohol made by the chemistry class = 300 of 30%

Amount of 12% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = x

Amount of 42% isopropyl alcohol mixed by the chemistry class = 300 - x

2. How much of each did they use?

Let's write our equation to solve for x, this way:

30% = 0.3, 12% = 0.12, 42% = 0.42

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12x + 126 - 0.42x = 90

-0.3x = 90 - 126

-0.3x = -36

x = -36/-0.3

<u>x = 120 ⇒ 300 - x = 180</u>

<u>Let's prove x = 120 is correct</u>

0.12x + 0.42 (300 - x) = 0.3 * 300

0.12 * 120 + 0.42 (300 - 120) = 0.3 * 300

14.4 + 75.6 = 90

90 = 90

<u>We proved x = 120 is correct</u>

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeee
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

y = 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️First, find the slope using any two given pairs form the table, say (2, 10) and (5, 19):

Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (19 - 10) / (5 - 2) = 9/3

m = 3

✔️Find y-intercept (b) by substituting (x, y) = (2, 10) and m = 3 into y = mx + b

10 = 3(2) + b

10 = 6 + b

10 - 6 = b

4 = b

b = 4

✔️Write the equation by substituing m = 3 and b = 4 into y = mx + b

y = 3x + 4
