Five hundred gallons of 89-octane gasoline is obtained by mixing 87-octane gasoline with 92-octane gasoline. (a) Write a system

of equations in which one equation represents the total amount of final mixture required and the other represents the amounts of 87- and 92-octane gasoline in the final mixture. Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons of 87- and 92-octane gasoline, respectively. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the two equations in part (a) in the same viewing window. As the amount of 87-octane gasoline increases, how does the amount of 92-octane gasoline change? (c) How much of each type of gasoline is required to obtain the 500 gallons of 89-octane gasoline?

Explanation:

a) The total volume equals the sum of the volumes.

500 = x + y

The total octane amount equals the sum of the octane amounts.

89(500) = 87x + 92y

44500 = 87x + 92y

b) desmos.com/calculator/ekegkzllqx

As x increases, y decreases.

c) Use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

44500 = 87x + 92(500−x)

44500 = 87x + 46000 − 92x

5x = 1500

x = 300

y = 200

The required volumes are 300 gallons of 87 gasoline and 200 gallons of 92 gasoline.

A satellite would have a mass of 270 kg on the surface of Mars. Determine the weight of the satellite in pounds if it is in orbi
koban [17]

Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf

What is the perimeter of 14-7 and 3-4
Goshia [24]

Answer:

If you mean two sides are 7 and two sides are 14 then you'd have 42

and for the second you'd have 14

Explanation:

7 + 7 = 14, 14 + 14 = 28, 14 + 28 = 42

3 + 3 = 6, 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 6 = 14
