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.

Small squares with sides 4 cm were cut from each of the corners of a square piece of cardboard. then it was folded into an open-
DENIUS [597]
Suppose the length of the card board was x cm by x cm
After squares of 4cm was cut from the corner, the dimension for the box will be:
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=4 cm
thus the volume will be:
V=length*width*height
V=4×(x-8)×(x-8)=144
x²-16x+64=36
this can be simplified to form a quadratic equation given by:
x²-16x+28=0
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=2 or x=14
Thus we conclude that the original dimensions was:
length=14 cm ; width=14 cm

x^4 + 9x^3 + 15x^2 + 9x + 14

 

Split  15x^2  into  14x^2  +  x^2

 

x^4 + 9x^3 + 14x^2 + x^2 + 9x + 14     factor as

 

x^2  [x^2 + 9x + 14 ]  +  1 [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ]   take out GCF

 

[ x^2 + 1 ] [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ]

 

[ x^2 + 1 ] [  x + 7 ] [ x + 2 ]
