Answer:

40 mL of 10% acid

80 mL of 25% acid

Step-by-step explanation:

x = volume of 10% acid solution

y = volume of 25% acid solution

Total volume is:

x + y = 120

Total amount of acid is:

0.10 x + 0.25 y = 0.20 (120)

Solve by substitution.

0.10 x + 0.25 (120 − x) = 0.20 (120)

0.10 x + 30 − 0.25 x = 24

0.15 x = 6

x = 40

y = 80

Rewrite the equation by completing the square. x^2+10x+24 = 0
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

(x+5)^2 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+10x+24 = 0

Subtract 24 from each side

x^2+10x+24 -24 = 0-24

x^2+10x = -24

Take the coefficient of x

10

Divide by 2

10/2 =5

Square it

5^2 = 25

Add it to each side

x^2+10x+25 = -24+25

Take the coefficient divided by 2 inside the factor

(x+10/2) ^2 = -24+25

(x+5)^2 = 1

How do you graph it on a line
Aleonysh [2.5K]

In order to draw x ≤ -10 on a number line, first draw a closed dot at -10. This is because we have a ≤ and not a <. If we had a <, it would be an open dot.

Next, since we want x to be smaller, draw an arrow pointing towards all numbers that are smaller. This arrow would point to the left.
