To solve this equation you can plug in these numbers into the equations, so for example you can that the equation a-3b=9 and the points are (-9,-6). you would then insert the numbers so you would have the equation (-9)-3(-6)=9. simplify -9+18=9 and there you have it, the answer is (-9,-6)

to arrive at 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution. How many liters of eac

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

<u>800 liters</u> of 90% saline solution and <u>1200 liters</u> of 40% saline solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution.

Now, to find the number of liters of saline solution each should be used.

<u><em>Let the liters of 90% saline solution mix be </em></u> $x.$ <u><em /></u>

<u><em>And let the liters of 40% saline solution mix be</em></u> $y.$

So, the total number of liters:

$x+y=2000.$

$y=2000-x\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total percentage of saline solution:

$90\%\ of\ x+40\%\ of\ y=60\%\ of\ 2000$

$\frac{90}{100}\times x+\frac{40}{100}\times y=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$0.9x+0.4y=1200$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.9x+0.4(2000-x)=1200$

$0.9x+800-0.4x=1200$

$0.5x+800=1200$

Subtracting both sides by 800 we get:

$0.5x=400$

Dividing both sides by 0.5 we get:

$x=800.$

<u>The liters of 90% saline solution mix = 800.</u>

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) to get the liters of 40% saline solution:

$y=2000-x$

$y=2000-800$

$y=1200.$

<u>Thus, the liters of 40% saline solution = 1200.</u>

Therefore, 800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

1. Ada purchased a house using a fixed rate mortgage. The annual interest rate is 6.3%

vlabodo [156]

The monthly payment on the mortgage is option C) $2537.44

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Principal (P): $ 295,000
Rate (r): 6.3% = 0.063
Number of times compounded (n): 12months $\times$ 15 years = 180
Number of years = 15

The formula is A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

⇒ A = 295000(1+0.063/180)^(180 $\times$ 15)

⇒ A = 295000(180.063/180)^2700

⇒ A = 295000 (1.00035)^2700

⇒ A = 758854.5

Interest = Amount - Principle

⇒ 758854.5 - 295000

⇒ Interest = 463854.5

∴ The monthly payment for 15 years = 463854.5 / (15 $\times$ 12)

The monthly payment on the mortgage = 2576.9 (approximately option C)

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y - 8 = -5x$

$6y = -10x + 16$

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

<em>Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular</em>

<em />

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

$3y - 8 = -5x$

Add 8 to both sides

$3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8$

$3y = -5x + 8$

Divide both sided by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$6y = -10x + 16$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

$y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

Simplify fractions to lowest term

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

<em>This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.</em>
