Answer:

  4 oz of water must be evaporated

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x represent the amount of water to be evaporated, the relation between the solutions is ...

  0.08 · 36 oz = 0.09 · (36 -x) oz

  0.09x = 36(0.09 -0.08) . . . . . divide by oz; add .09x, subtract .08·36

  x = 36· 0.01/0.09 = 36/9 = 4

4 ounces of water must be evaporated.

Stells [14]

Answer:

1) incorrect

2) incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-2x = 0 ?

-2x -2x = -4x

It will be 0 only if x = 0.

Not always true, so incorrect

x+x = x² ?

2x = x²

They will be equal if x = 0 or 2.

Not always true so incorrect

PLEASE HELP!!! <br> show work if possible!:)

Answer:

The answer to your question is y = 2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original line   y = -(1/2)x + 5

Point (-4, 3)

Process

1.- Get the slope of the new line

- Slope of the original line = -1/2

  If the lines are perpendicular, the slopes must be reciprocal

                       -1/2  reciprocal = 2

2.- Get the equation of the new line

          y - y1 = m(x - x1)

          y - 3 = 2(x + 4)

- Simplification

         y - 3 = 2x + 8

- Solve for y

        y = 2x + 8 + 3

        y = 2x + 11
