How many liters of water containing 7 grams of salt per liter must be combined with x liters of water which contains y grams [y

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$\frac{(2-y)x}{5}\text{ litres}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l litre of 7 grams of salt per litre is combined with x litres of water which contains y grams of salt per litre to yield a solution with 2 grams of salt per litre.

Thus,

Salt in l litre + salt in x litre = salt in resultant mixture

7l + xy = 2(l +x)

7l + xy = 2l + 2x

7l - 2l = 2x - xy

5l = x(2-y)

$\implies l =\frac{x(2-y)}{5}$

Hence, $\frac{x(2-y)}{5}$ litres of 7 gram of salt per litre is mixed.

What expression is equivalent to ^3 square root of 2y^3 times 7 square root of 18y

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{18y} = 21(y^{\frac{3}{2}})(2^{\frac{5}{6}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is poorly formatted.

Given

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{18y}$

Required

Derive an equivalent expression

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{18y}$

Express 18 as 9 * 2

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{9 * 2y}$

Split the expression as follows:

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{9} * \sqrt{2y}$

Take positive square root of 9

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7*3 * \sqrt{2y}$

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 21 * \sqrt{2y}$

$21*\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * \sqrt{2y}$

The cube root can be rewritten to give:

$21*\sqrt[3]{2}*\sqrt[3]{y^3} * \sqrt{2y}$

$\sqrt[3]{y^3} = y^{3*\frac{1}{3}} = y$

So, we have:

$21*\sqrt[3]{2} * y * \sqrt{2y}$

Rewrite as:

$21y *\sqrt[3]{2} * \sqrt{2y}$

Split $\sqrt{2y$

$21y *\sqrt[3]{2} * \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{y}$

Collect Like Terms

$21y*\sqrt{y} *\sqrt[3]{2} * \sqrt{2}$

Represent in index form

$21y*y^{\frac{1}{2}} *2^\frac{1}{3} *2^\frac{1}{2}$

Apply law of indices

$21*y^{1+\frac{1}{2}} *2^{\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2} }$

$21*y^{\frac{2+1}{2}} *2^{\frac{2+3}{6}}$

$21*y^{\frac{3}{2}} *2^{\frac{5}{6}}$

$21(y^{\frac{3}{2}})(2^{\frac{5}{6}})$

Hence:

$\sqrt[3]{2y^3} * 7\sqrt{18y} = 21(y^{\frac{3}{2}})(2^{\frac{5}{6}})$

How do I find the perimeter of a triangle with sides 3ft 8in., 2ft 10in., and 4 ft?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Formula for triangle perimeter is: a + b + c. In this scenario we have:

a = 3 feet 8 inches
b = 2 feet 10 inches
c = 4 feet

a + b + c =
= 3 ft + 8 in + 2 ft + 10 in + 4 ft =
= 9 ft + 18 in

We know that 1 foot is 12 inches, so we can simplify the result to this form:

10 ft + 6 in

or:

<u>10.5 feet</u>
