Answer:

Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:

  1. Let us express the question in terms of equations

Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.

Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

Equation 2: a + b = 2000

From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)

    2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:

0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)

1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180

0.3b = 180

b = 600

Substitute in equation 3:

a = 2000 - 600

a = 1400

As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.

Write an equation of the line in point slope form parallel to y=1/3x-5 through point (3,-7)
Mashcka [7]
Hmmm so, parallel lines have the same slope, so a line that's parallel to <span>y=1/3x-5, will also have the same slope as that one, what would that be anyway?    </span>\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-5 , well, low and behold, since that equation is in slope-intercept form already, we can see is just 1/3.
<span>
so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through 3, -7?

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& -7~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies \cfrac{1}{3}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-7)=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-3)\implies y+7=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-3)<span>

HELP! My teacher didn't teach half the material! How do I do this!?!?!?!
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<h2>x=-0.3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1-(-7.2x+3.5)=5+3(7.4x-1) first parenthesis

1+7.2x-3.5=5+22.2x-3  

7.2x-2.5=2+22.2x (x on one side and numbers on other)

22.2x-7.2x= -2-2.5

15x=4.5 divide by 15

x=-4.5/15

<h2>x=-0.3</h2>

The answers are C and E,
According to the interior and exterior angle theorem, this should be correct:
<3+<4+<6=180
<3+<1=180
<4+<6=<1
so they are the interior opposite of <1
