A certain solution of salt water is 10% salt and weighs 50 pounds. more salt must be added to produce a solution that is 25% sal

t. if x represents the pounds of salt to be added, which of the following expressions represents the number of pounds of salt in the 25% solution?
a) 0.25 (x+50)
b) 0.25x
c) 1.25 (x+50)

Answer

7.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since adding x grams of salt will bring th percentage of the salt to 25

Hence. 10% of the 50 gram gives. 5 gram initial salt before it is added.

5+ x/ 50 * 100= 25/

5+x /50 = 0.25

5+x = 12.5

X= 12.5- 5

X= 7.5pounds

Express the number 20000 as a single digit integer times a power of 10
PolarNik [594]
The answer is 2 x 10^4 or 2 to the power of 4 (4th power) where;
2  x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
2 x 10 =20
20 x 10= 200
200 x 10 = 2000
2000 x 10 = 20 000

Expressing a number to a single digit integer times a power of 10 is also writing a number in scientific form,where the number is multiplied by 10 to nth "power". Scientific notation is also called standard index form whereby, too large or too big numbers.
In writing the scientific notation of a number it follows this form: m x 10^n ( m is multiplied to 10 to the power of n)  where, m, the coefficient, is the real number and n is the exponent integer.<span><span /></span>

(A)using geometry vocabulary, describe a sequence of transformations that maps figure P (-1,2)(-1,4) (-4,2) (-4,4) onto figure Q
andrey2020 [161]

Before we proceed on determining the transformation happening on this problem, it's better to see first the location of the figure by drawing it in a cartesian coordinate plane. We have

If we observe the figures and the coordinates of the plot, we can see that there is a difference of 1 on the x coordinates of P and y coordinates of Q. Therefore, the first transformation that we consider here is the movement of figure P by 1 unit to the left. We have

\begin{gathered} P_1=(-1-1,2_{})=(-2,2) \\ P_2=(-1-1,4)=(-2,4) \\ P_3=(-4-1,2)=(-5,2) \\ P_4=(-4-1,4)=(-5,4) \end{gathered}

This transformation changes the location of figure P into

The next transformation will be the rotation of the red dotted figure on the figure above by 90 degrees counterclockwise. With this transformation, the coordinates will transform as

P_{ccw,90}=(-y,x)

Hence, for the rotation, we have the new coordinates.

\begin{gathered} P_1^{\prime}=(-2,-2) \\ P_2^{\prime}=(-4,-2) \\ P_3^{\prime}=(-2,-5) \\ P_4^{\prime}=(-4,-5) \end{gathered}

The transformed image, which is represented as NMPO, will now be at

For the last transformation, we will be reflecting the figure NMPO over the <em>y</em> axis. This changes the coordinates as

P_{\text{rotation,y}-\text{axis}}=(-x,y)

We now have the new coordinates:

\begin{gathered} P^{\doubleprime}_1=(2,-2)=Q_1_{}_{} \\ P_2^{\doubleprime}=(4,-2)=Q_3 \\ P_3^{\doubleprime}=(2,-5)=Q_2 \\ P_4^{\doubleprime}_{}=(4,-5)=Q_4_{} \end{gathered}

As you can see, they have the same coordinates as figure Q.

The mapping rules for the sequence described above are as follows:

First transformation (moving one unit to the left (x-1,y))

\begin{gathered} P_1(-1,2)\rightarrow P_1(-1-1,2)\rightarrow P_1(-2,2) \\ P_2(-1,4)\rightarrow P_1(-1-1,4)\rightarrow P_2(-2,4) \\ P_3(-4,2)\rightarrow P_1(-4-1,2)\rightarrow P_3(-5,2) \\ P_4(-4,4)\rightarrow P_1(-4-1,4)\rightarrow P_4(-5,4) \end{gathered}

Second transformation (rotation counter clockwise (-y,x))

\begin{gathered} P_1(-2,2)\rightarrow P^{\prime}_1(-2,-2)_{} \\ P_2(-2,4)\rightarrow P^{\prime}_2(-4,-2) \\ P_3(-5,2)\rightarrow P^{\prime}_3(-2,-5)_{} \\ P_4(-5,4)\rightarrow P^{\prime}_4(-4,-5)_{} \end{gathered}

Third Transformation (reflection over y-axis (-x,y))

\begin{gathered} P^{\prime}_1(-2,-2)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1(-(-2),-2)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1=(2,-2)=Q_1 \\ P^{\prime}_2(-4,-2)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1(-(-4),-2)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1=(4,-2)=Q_3 \\ P^{\prime}_3(-2,-5)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1(-(-2),-5)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1=(2,-5)=Q_2 \\ P^{\prime}_4(-4,-5)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1(-(-4),-5)\rightarrow P^{\doubleprime}_1=(4,-5)=Q_4 \end{gathered}
