Answer:

<h2>3.5 gallons of water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, water and lemon have the ratio 7:1, 7 parts of water per 1 part of lemon.

Also, we know that one gallon have four quarts, and we want to make 1 gallon of lemonade. So, the amount of water would be x, because the question is about water, and the amount of lemonade would be 4 \ quarts - x, because it would be the difference between the total 4 quarts (1 gallon) and the amount of water.

Now, using the ratios, we have:

\frac{7 \ water}{1 \ lemon}=\frac{x \ water}{4 - x \ lemon} \\28-7x=x\\7x+x=28\\8x=28\\x=\frac{28}{8}=3.5

Therefore, the amount of water needed is 3.5 gallons, and 0.5 gallons of lemon.

In order to solve this problem, we need our knowledge on ratio and proportion for us to set up an equation. <span>A </span>proportion<span> is an equation with a </span>ratio<span> on each side. It is a statement that two </span>ratios<span> are equal. </span>We do as follows:

7 parts water / 1 part lemon = 4 quarts - x / x

where x is the quarts lemon needed

Solving for x,

x = 0.5
water needed = 4-x = 3.5 quarts water is needed

The graph models the function y = −x2 − x + 6. Which attribute(s) of the graph tell you the root(s) of the function? Determine t
Alex73 [517]
In a graph the roots of the function are given by the cut points with the x axis.
 On the other hand, we have the following equation:
 y = -x2 - x + 6
 To find the roots, we equate to zero:
 -x2 - x + 6 = 0
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + x - 6 = 0
 (x-2) (x + 3) = 0
 The roots are:
 x1 = 2
 x2 = -3
 Answer:
 
The roots are:
 
x1 = 2
 
x2 = -3

Molly uses 192 beads to make a bracelet and a necklace. It takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than t does to make a
neonofarm [45]
Solve for the bracelet first. x represents number of beads for bracelet So it would be number of beads for the bracelet + number of beads for necklace (5x) and they both equal 192 x + 5x = 192 Then you would add the x and 5x.<br />6x = 192 Now all you have to do is divide by 6 on both sides. 6× ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 You know have the number of beads it takes for a bracelet. x = 32 to get the necklace all you need to do is multiply it by 5 because you need 5 times more for the necklace. 32 × 5 total beads needed is 160. 160 x+5x=192 6×=192 6x÷6=192÷6 x=32 necklace needs 32x5 beads per necklace is 160

5.1+2.3x=23.5..solve for x
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

see beleow

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5.1+2.3x=23.5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2.3x+5.1=23.5

Step 2: Subtract 5.1 from both sides.

2.3x+5.1−5.1=23.5−5.1

2.3x=18.4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.3.

2.3x

2.3

=

18.4

Which statement is accurate for the right triangle shown below?<br> Ꮎ<br> 50<br> 1<br> a<br> 47
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The statement that is accurate is csc(θ)=1.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the reference angle in this triangle, we can see that the side that is 47 units is opposite of it, the side that is 50 units is the hypotenuse, and the side that is 17 units is adjacent to it.

Because we know this, we can plug our sides into the formula for cscθ, secθ, and cotθ.

So:

cotθ=adjacent/opposite = 17/47= 0.36

cscθ=hypotenuse/opposite = 50/47=1.06

Now without even looking at the other statements, we can see that the second one is correct as cscθ=hypotenuse/opposite = 50/47=1.06

Therefore, the statement that is accurate is csc(θ)=1.06.
