Answer:

42 liters of 30% alcohol solution will be needed.

28 liters of 80% solution will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jotham needs 70 liters of a 50% alcohol solution.

Let the 30% solution needed be x.

We get the following equation:

70\times0.5=0.30x+0.80(70-x)

Solving this we get;

35=0.30x+56-0.80x

=> 35=56-0.50x

=> 0.50x=56-35

=> 0.50x=21

x = 42

Hence, 42 liters of 30% alcohol solution will be needed.

And 70-42=28 liters of 80% solution will be needed.

Find x: 2(4x − 3) − 8 = 4 + 2x
MariettaO [177]
X = 3

2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

1. Distribute

8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x

2. Collect like terms

8x - 14 = 4 + 2x

3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)

6x = 18

4. Divide by 6

x = 3

The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−5, 7) .
adell [148]
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12

After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3

The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
