No, because with the parentheses, you distribute the 2 to both the x and the 5, making that equation 2x-10
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
I believe the answer would be 6.96 cm
Answer:
Function:
c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1
= 0.70, 1 < w ≤ 2
= 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the relation described can be interpreted as a function.
Here, c is the cost of a mail letter. c depends upon w, which is the weights of the mail letter.
As described in the question, the relation can be expressed as a function.
c can be expressed as a function of w in the following manner:
c(cost of mail) = f(w), where w is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable
c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1
= 0.70, 1 < w ≤ 2
= 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3
where, c is in dollars and w is in ounces.
