Assuming that water has 0% salt and that the amount of water added is x ml;

(15+x)*25 = (15+0)*65 = 975
375+25x = 975
25x = 975-375 = 600
x = 600/25 = 24 ml

The teacher must add 24 ml of water.

marla has 4.55 in dimes and quarters. if she ha s7 more quarters than dimes, how many quarters doe she have?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

number of dimes is 8

number of quarters is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'd' = number of dimes

let 'd+7' = number of quarters

.10d + .25(d + 7) = 4.55

.10d + .25d + 1.75 = 4.55

.35d = 2.80

d = 8

q = 7 + 8

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft2, and the length of the rectangle is 1 ft more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the
umka21 [38]
This is probably way overcomplicated but i cant remember how to do it
w = n
l = 2n+1
w*l = 66
n(2n+1) = 66
2n^2 + n =66
2n^2 + n - 66 = 0
using quadratic equation

n = 11/2

width = 11/2 = 5.5
length = 11 + 1 = 12

The triangles are similar. <br> What is the value of x?<br><br> x =
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{39}{x-10} = \frac{36}{12} = \frac{15}{5} = 3

multiply both sides by (x - 10)

3(x - 10) = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x - 10 = 13 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 23
