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

Rent a truck charges a daily rental of 39$ plus 0.16$ per mile. a competing agency, ace truck rentals, charges 25$ a day plus 0.
charle [14.2K]
39 + 0.16m = 25 + 0.24m
39 - 25 = 0.24m - 0.16m
14 = 0.08m
14 / 0.08 = m
175 = m <=== they will cost the same at 175 miles

39 + 0.16(175) = 39 + 28 = $ 67
25 + 0.24(175) = 25 + 42 = $ 67
they will both cost $ 67 <=====

I'm pretty sure it would be 40,000 because if i'm not mistaken you meant the nearest 10,000 since the number is 39,892.

What values of k will make the line containing points (k,3) and (-2,1) parallel to the line through (5, K) and (1,0)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

k = -4 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, the lines would need to be the same slope. This means to find the slope of each we would take the difference of the rise over the run.

\frac{1-3}{-2-k}=\frac{-2}{-2-k}

and

\frac{0-k}{1-5}=\frac{-k}{-4}

To find K, set them equal.

\frac{-2}{-2-k} = \frac{-k}{-4}\\-k(-2-k) = -2*-4\\2k+k^2=8\\k^2+2k-8=0

Factor the quadratic and solve for K.

(k+4)(k-2)=0

k+4=0 so k=-4

k-2=0 so k=2
