Answer:

5.6 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

x + .15(8) = .50(8+x)

x + 1.2 = 4

.50x + 1.2 = 4

.50x = 2.8

x = 2.8/.50

x = 5.6 quarts

Erica is participating in a road race. The first part of the race is on a 5.2-mile-long straight road-oriented at an angle of 25
kap26 [50]

Answer:

6.31 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram below explains the solution better.

From the diagram,

C = starting point of the race.

A = end of the first part of the race.

B = end of the race.

Using Cosine rule, we can find the straight-line distance between the starting point and the end of the race.

Cosine rule states that:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc[cos(A)]

where A = angle A = <A

Given that

b = 5.2 miles

c = 2.0 miles

<A = 115° (from the diagram)

Hence,

a^2 = 5.2^2 + 2.0^2 - 2*5.2*2.0[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 27.04 + 4 - 20.8[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 31.04 + 8.79\\\\a^2 = 39.83\\\\a = \sqrt{39.83}\\ \\a = 6.31 mi

The straight-line distance between the starting point and the end of the race is 6.31 mi

#1: Solve the inequality below.<br> -3x + 5 &lt; -19
frosja888 [35]

Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,

in this inequality,  start by isolating the x term which in this

case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.

That leaves you with -3x < -24.

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a

negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in

set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 4y = 6 and passes through the point (6, 4) ). es A ) y = 2x + 4 B) y
netineya [11]

Answer:

B - y = 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find slope

2x + 4y = 6

4y = -2x + 6

Make y the subject of the formula

y =( -2x + 6)/4

We can separate to get the slope

y = -2x/4 + 6/4

y = -x/2 + 3/2

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form equation

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, it is always a negative reciprocal of each other

ie m = 2

Substitute m into the equation

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Step 3: sub the point

( 6 , 4)

x1 = 6

y1 = 4

y - 4 = 2( x - 6)

Step 4 : using a slope intercept form equation

Open the bracket

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 12 + 4

y = 2x - 8

The equation of a line is

y = 2x - 8
