Let

x--------> volume of 50​% fertilizer

y--------> volume of 30% fertilizer

we know that

x+y=160-----> x=160-y-----> equation 1

x*0.5+y*0.3=160*0.4-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

[160-y]*0.5+0.3*y=63.8----> 77-0.35*y+0.25*y=63.8

0.10*y=13.2------> y=13.2/0.10----> y=132 gal

x=220-y----> x=220-132----> x=88 gal

the answer is

88 gal of 50​% fertilizer

132 gal 30​% fertilizer

DS=3x+10 and SE=6x-2. What is the value of DE?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

9x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given DS = 3x+10 and SE = 6x-2_ the value of DE is expressed as shown;

DE = DS+SE

Substitute the given functions into the formula to get DE

DE = (3x+10)+(6x-2)

Open the parentheses

DE = 3x+10+6x-2

Collect the like terms

DE = 3x+6x+10-2

DE = 9x+8

Hence the value of DE is 9x+8

Marianna [84]

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is  times the length of each leg.

Proof:

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem,

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.
