Answer: 20 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x liter of 10% hydrogen peroxide solution is mixed with y liter of 25% hydrogen peroxide solution to create 30 liters of a 15% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Thus, Total quantity of mixture = 30

⇒ x + y = 30 ---------(1)

And, Total quantity of hydrogen in the mixture is the sum of total quantity of hydrogen in x liter and y liter,

⇒ 10 % of x +25 % of y = 15 % of 30

⇒ 10 x + 25 y = 450

⇒ 2 x + 5 y = 90 ------- (2)

Equation (2) - 2× Equation (1),

⇒ 3 y = 30

⇒ y = 10

Substitute this value in equation (1),

We get,

x + 10 = 30

⇒ x = 20,

Hence, the quantity of 10% solution chemist used to make the 15% solution = x liter = 20 liter.

Which of the following polynomials is a binomial
Dima020 [189]
Hey there!

A binomial is a polynomial that contains two terms. Terms are separated from one another by mathematical symbols, such as +, –, and ×. A term can be a variable, a variable with a coefficient, a constant, or really any combination of coefficient, variable, and exponent that you can think of. For example...

(3x² – xy)

(x + 3)

(5x – 6y)

...are all binomials. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Find the value of x. (Picture attached.)
Svet_ta [14]

Here, triangle AEN and ALG are similar.


We know that the ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles are equal. So,

\frac{21}{42} =\frac{2x-9}{(2x-9)+(x+7)}\\\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2x-9}{3x-2}\\\\ 3x-2=4x-18\\\\-2+18=4x-3x\\\\16=x\\\\x=16\\

Use a recursive function for the geometric sequence 2, -6, 18, -54,... to represent the 9th term.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

f(9) = f(8)·(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive function is one where each successive term is calculated using the previous term;

The clear pattern demonstrated in the sequence of terms shown is that each term is multiplied by -3 to give the next one;

Hence, the correct option is the first.
