Suppose a lab needs to make 400 liters of a 39% acid solution, but the only solutions available to the lab are 20% acid and 50%

acid. What system of equations can be used to find the number of liters of each solution that should be mixed to make the 39% solution? Let c represent the number of liters of 20% acid solution and let d represent the number of liters of 50% acid solution.

Mixture problem.
Ratio of 20% : 50% acids
=50-39 : 39-20
=11:19
total volume
=400L
vol. of 20% acid=400*(11/(11+19)=400*(11/30)=146.667 L
vol. of 50% acid=400*(19/(11+19)=253.333 L

Alternatively, use c=volume of 20%, d=vol of 50%
then
0.2c+0.5d=400*0.39
Since c+d=400, we have
0.2c+0.5(400-c)=400*0.39=156
solve for c:
0.3c=44
c=146.667 and d=400-c=253.333  as before.

USPshnik [31]
It is equilateral triangle, so the 3 sides have the same length

5x - 22 = 4x - 10
5x - 4x = -10 + 22
x = 12

The value of x is 12

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x -2 and passes
White raven [17]

Answer:

A. y=-1/3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular gradients(slopes) are negative reciprocals so

m=-1/3  then use the point (6,8) to find the equation of the line

y=mx+b

8=(-1/3)(6)+b

8=-2+b

b=10

y=-1/3x+10

What equation do I need to use?
goldenfox [79]
To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3)   and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]

This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such  that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of 
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
