Answer:

We need 50 liters of 35% alcohol.  

We set up two equations:

A) x + y = 50

B) .40x + .25y = .35 * 50

Multiplying A) by -.40

A) -.40x -.40y = -20  then adding equation B)

B) .40x  + .25y = 17.50

-.15y = -2.50

y = 16.67

x = 33.33

So, we need 33.33 liters of 40% alcohol and

16.67 liters of 25% alcohol

Double-Check

33.33 * .40 + 16.67 * .25 = 13.33 + 4.17 = 17.50 liters of alcohol in 50 total liters

17.50 / 50 = 35% alcohol

Answer:

33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations...

Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution

Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution

We need 50 liters total, so

x + y = 50

and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so

0.4x = 0.25y =  0.35(50)  

Solve the first equation for one variable...

x = 50 - y             (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)

Now substitute that value into the second equation...

0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5      (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)

Now solve for y...

20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5

  -0.15y = -2.5

      y = 16.66666667

        y = 16 2/3 L

So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'

x + 16 2/3 = 50

x = 50 - 16 2/3

x = 33 1/3

: Sam is 12 years older than John. For the last four years, Sam and John have been friends. Five years ago, Sam was 5 times as o
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The present age of Sam is 20 years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The age of John =  J years

Let The age of Sam = S years

∵ Sam is 12 years older than John

so,  The age of Sam = 12 + The age of John

i.e S = 12 + J            .....1

<u>Again</u>

Before 5 years ago

The age of Sam = 5 times age of John

So, (S - 5) = 5 × (J - 5)

Or, S - 5 = 5 J - 25

Or, 5 J - S = 25 - 5

Or, 5 J - S = 20                  .........2

Solving eq 1 and eq 2

[5 J - (12 + J)] = 20

Or, 5 J - 12 - J = 20

Or, 4 J = 20 + 12

Or, 4 J = 32

∴ J = \frac{32}{4}

i.e J = 8 years

So, The age of John = J = 8 years

Put The value of J into eq 1

∵ S = 12 + J

So, S = 12 + 8

i.e S = 20 years

So, The present age of Sam = S = 20 years .

Hence, The present age of Sam is 20 years . Answer

dezoksy [38]
Given: Security Service Company:
1.4 1.8 1.6 1.7 1.5 1.5 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.6
Mean: 1.59
Standard Deviation: 0.014333

Other companies: 1.8 1.9 1.6 1.7 1.6 1.8 1.7 1.5 1.8 1.7
Mean: 1.71
Standard deviation: 0.014333

The coefficient of variation for security Service Company:

CV = (Standard Deviation/Mean) * 100.

= (0.14333/1.59) * 100

= 9.01%

The coefficient of variation for other companies:

CV = (Standard Deviation/Mean) * 100.

= (0.014333 / 1.71) * 100

= 8.38%

the limited data listed here show evidence of stealing by the security service company's employees because there is a significant difference in the variation.

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Switch sides:

2x−9=17

Add 9 to both sides:

2x−9+9=17+9

Simplify

2x=26

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 =26/2

Simplify to get the result.

x=13
