Let x be the amount of the solution containing 10% of the chemical. Then, the solution with 40% chemical becomes 10 - x. The equation for balancing the chemical content of the solution is,
0.10x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.25(10)
The value of x is 5. Hence, the druggist should mix 5 ounces of each. There are 2.5 ounces of chemical in the final mixture.
Answer:
Difference between multiplication property of equality and inequality
The only difference is: If you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same negative number, the equation remains the same, but If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same negative number, the inequality reverses. !!!!!

Answer:
1.8 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of the largest side of the triangle. The cosine rule is:
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).
The question specifies that a=0.5, B=120°, and c=1.5. Plugging in the values:
b^2 = 0.5^2 + 1.5^2 - 2(0.5)(1.5)*cos(120°).
Simplifying gives:
b^2 = 3.25.
Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
This means that the length of the third side is 1.8 units!!!
