Note the improper fraction. Change it into a mixed fraction

3/2 = 2/2 + 1/2

2/2 = 1

5 + 1 1/2

Simplify.

5 + 1 = 6

6 1/2 is your answer

hope this helps

How many gallons of a 50% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 30% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 40% antif

Mariulka [41]

I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.

Let x be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (x + 60) gal.

Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 x + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 x + 18) gal of antifreeze.

We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have

(0.5 x + 18) / (x + 60) = 0.4

Solve for x :

0.5 x + 18 = 0.4 (x + 60)

0.5 x + 18 = 0.4 x + 24

0.5 x - 0.4 x = 24 - 18

0.1 x = 6

x = 6/0.1 = 60 gal

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = -6x - 7

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

f - 1 (x) = - x6 - 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Since g(f(x))=x g ( f ( x ) ) = x , f−1(x)=−x6−76 f - 1 ( x ) = - x 6 - 7 6 is the inverse of f(x)=−6x−7 f ( x ) = - 6 x - 7 .

1. The Cajun Heartland State Fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Johnny bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a tot

vladimir1956 [14]

Part (a)

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

Part (b)

The cost of one ticket is $1.25. Therefore, the cost of 25 tickets will be: .

Now, we know that Johnny spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that he spent a total of $43.75.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $43.75-$31.25=$12.5

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=1.25x+12.5$ ......Equation 1

Part (c)

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 1.25x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$12.5.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.

Could somebody please help me find the answers for 'x' for these pictures?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

(in order) #1

for the first one you have a vertical angle. Vertical angle is basically any 2 lines who intersect each other. The opposite sides will be congruent.

So in this case

2x+8 and 110 are oppostie sides.

2x+8=110

Which is x= 51

For the second one you have supplementray angles

Now for supplementary angles its basically 2 angles added up that form a straight line And 180 degress is always the measure of a straight line. SO in this case we do

9x+12x+75=180

Which is x=5

This is also a vertical angle pair and their congruent just like #1

So 5x+5=65

x=12
