Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The total resulting gallons of water is 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is 2.625% salinity

Step-by-step explanation:

The salinity of the fresh water from the Mississippi River Delta = 0%

The salinity of the water from the Gulf of Mexico = 3 1/2%

Therefore, if 1,000 gallons of river water mixes with 3,000 gallons from the Gulf, we have;

The total resulting gallons of water = 1,000 + 3,000 = 4,000 gallons

The total resulting gallons of water = 4,000 gallons

The concentration of the resulting solution is found as follows;

The concentration of the resulting solution = (3 × 3 1/2)/400 × 100 = 2.625%

The concentration of the resulting solution = 2.625% salinity.

Hello if anyone could answer this that'd be nice

Tomtit [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7

3 + 4x = 5x - 4

3 + 4(7) = 5(7) - 4

3 + 28 = 35 - 4

(x^2−x−6x^2−8x+16)/(x2−x−12)

-3 and 4 cannot be the values of x in the given expression

The expression is given as:

$\frac{(x^2-x-6x^2-8x+16)}{(x^2-x-12)}$

Start by equating the denominator to 0

$x^2 - x - 12 = 0$

Expand the above equation

$x^2 - 4x + 3x - 12 = 0$

Factorize the equation

$x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4) = 0$

Factor out x - 4

$(x + 3) (x - 4) = 0$

Split

$(x + 3)= 0\ or\ (x - 4) = 0$

Remove brackets

$x + 3= 0\ or\ x - 4 = 0$

Solve for x

$x =- 3\ or\ x = 4$

Hence, -3 and 4 cannot be the value of x in the given expression
