I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
I don't think so.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2p-(1/4p-4)
1/2p-(1-16p/4p)
(2p-1+16p)/4p
(18p-1)/4p
2(9p-1)/4p
9p-1/2p
Answer:
2, 7, 114
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 + 0.5x)(38 - 4x)
114 + 19x - 12x - 2x²
-2x² + 7x + 114
A composition of reflections across two intersecting lines is a rotation.
I hope helped ^^
