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.

Joe is placing tile in a small rectangular room. The room measures 8 feet by 5.5 feet. If one square foot tiles are sold in pack
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The area, a of the room is 8* 5.5

a = 44 sqaure feet

one square foot of tiles are sold in packages of 12

To get the number of packages needed, simply divide the area of the room by 12

This gives:

44/12 = 4

= 3.67   round up to the nearest whole number

= 4

How do I write this in slope intercept form: (-3,-4) and (4,-3)
DENIUS [597]
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Pick one of the coordinates, I’ll use (-3,-4) as the example.

Coordinates are just numbers plugged in for (x,y).

This means -3 would be your x and -4 would be your y.

So plug these numbers into the equation and you get -4 = m(-3) + b.

M is slope and to find slope, you need to do (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

In other words, it would be (-3 - -4) / (4 - -3) = 1/7 which is your slope (m).

Now plug that in for m to get the b variable.

-4 = 1/7(-3) + b.

B = -3.57

Your answer is y = 1/7x -3.57
