Answer:

9.6 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is mL of chemical X, and y is mL of chemical Y, then:

x + y = 16

0.05x + 0.09y = 0.074(16)

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

0.05(16 − y) + 0.09y = 0.074(16)

0.8 − 0.05y + 0.09y = 1.184

0.04y = 0.384

y = 9.6

You need 9.6 mL of Y.

Answer:

J: x - 2y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug in x or y as 0 for the y-intercept and the x-intercept, respectively. But, for these specific equations, looking at the constant when y isn't multiplied by any number but 1 will show the y-intercept. (e.g. 2x + y = -12, -12 is the y-intercept, 2x - y = -20 -> -2x + y = 20, 20 is the y-intercept)

F: y-intercept = -12 (incorrect)

G: y-intercept = 0 (incorrect)

H: y-intercept = 20 (incorrect)

J: y-intercept = 4 (correct)
