Mathematics

Let the necessary amount of water be x.  Then (1.00)(1 gallon antifreeze) = 0.40(x+1 gallon), or 1 = .40x + .40.  Combining like terms:  0.60 = 0.40x.

Then x = 0.60 / 0.40 = 1.5.

Adding 1.5 gallons of water to that 1 gallon of pure antifreeze results in 2.5 gallons of 40% antifreeze.

4(-4x - 3) > 36 with the steps
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

x < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

−4x−3> 36/4

​Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.

−4x−3>9

Add 3 to both sides.

−4x>9+3

Add 9 and 3 to get 12.

−4x>12

Divide both sides by −4. Since −4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

x< 12/-4

​ Divide 12 by −4 to get −3.

x < -3
