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.

Based on these statements:
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

the third statement is true

Explanation:

given data

Lenovos cost more than Dells

Lenovos cost less than Apples

solution

we have given 1st statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell)     ..................1

and

2nd statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) < cost (Apple)

so we can say it as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo)       ......................2

and

now above Both equation 1 and 2 can be written as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell)      .........................3

so we can say cost of Apples is more than the cost of Lenovos and the cost of Dells

so as that given 3rd statement is true
