Answer:
232 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.
At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:
64/(88 + c) = 1/5
Cross-multiply:
88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320
c = 320 - 88 = 232
Thus, the answer is 232 cars.
Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.

Answer:
60 oz of water to add
45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amt no. ounces in the first solution
and 105 - x = amt no. of ounces in the second solution
Ist solution contains 0% salt
2nd solution contains .35(105 - x) salt
.15(105= amt of salt in mix
So.
amt of salt in 1st solution + amt of salt in 2nd solution = amt of salt in the mix
0 + .35(105 - x) = .15(105)
Let's get rid of the fractions by multipying thru the equation by 100
35(105 - x) = 15(105)
3675 - 35x = 1575
-35x = -2100
x = 60 oz of water to add
105 - 60 = 45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Simply plug in and see if the statement is true. If not, isolate x.
Test for truth:
Isolate x in original equation:
- -14+7=x+8
- -14+7-8=x
- -7-8=x
- -15=x
Simple...
you have: x-3y=18
You want to convert it into slope-intercept form or y=mx+b form-->>>
x-3y=18
Isolate the variable-->>
x-3y=18
-x -x
-3y=-x+18
Now simply divide...
y=
Thus, your answer.
