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>

What does X equal? 14x+24=18x-32
exis [7]

Answer:

x =14

Step-by-step explanation:

14x+24=18x-32

Subtract 14x from each side

14x-14x+24=18x-14x-32

24 = 4x -32

Add 32 from each side

24+32=4x-32+32

56 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

56/4 = 4x/4

14=x

In which quadrants do solutions for the inequality y is less than or equal to two sevenths times x plus 1 exist? i, iii, and iv
tigry1 [53]

The solutions will lie  in all the four quadrants.

y≤2/7x+1

We have the following inequality:

y=2/7x+1

If x=0

y=2/7(0) +1

y=1

If y=0

x=-3.5

So the line passes through the points:

(0,1) and (-3.5,0)

To find the shaded region, let us take a point, namely, the origin and test it in the inequality:

y≤ 2/7x +1

0≤ 2/7(0) +1

0≤ 1 which is true

Since this is true, then the shaded region includes this point. This is shown below and as you can see the solutions exist in all four quadrants.
