How would you solve for x and y?

1 answer:

4 0

Since all of the sides are 15, and there's a right angle, we can assume the triangles are both the same size. So we can halve 15 to get the length of y, which would be 7.5. And here we can use the Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for x, by changing it to c^2-b^2=a^2, and we can fill out 15^2 - 7.5^2 = a^2, or 225 - 56.25 = √173.75, which is about 13.18.

How many ml of 20 percent acid should be added to pure acid to make 70 ml of 30 percent acid?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

61.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

How many ml of 20 percent acid should be added to pure acid

to make 70 ml of 30 percent acid?

let x = amt of 20% mixture

then

(70-x) = amt of pure acid

0.20x + (70-x) =0 .30(70)

0.20x + 70 - x = 21

= 21 - 70

-0.8x =-49

x = 61.25%

x = +61.25 ml of 20% stuff

Which function is best represented by this graph?

Reil [10]

Answer:

y= $\frac{2}{7}$ x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is a way to describe a function using its slope and y-intercept and is written as y=mx+b.

m=slope

b=y-intercept

Looking at the graph we can see it goes through x=0 at y=-2 making -2 the y-intercept.

Then we must solve for slope, slope is rise/run. From the point (0,-2) the function travels to (7,0).

This gives us a rise (change in x) of 2 and a run (change in y) of 7 and 2/7 as our slope.
