Answer:

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We know that of the punch, 80% is cranberry juice.

Let's call Z the amount of cranberry juice and Y is the amount of ginger ale.

Let's call X the amount of Ponche

The amount of punch is equal to the amount of cranberry juice plus the amount of ginger ale

X = Z + Y (i)

Then we know that:

Z = 0.8X  (ii)

We also know that:

Y = 2 liters (iii)

Part B.

Now we can solve the equation:

Replace (ii) and (iii) in (i)

X = 0.8X + 2

X - 0.8X = 2

X(1-0.8) = 2

X = \frac{2}{1-0.8}

X = 10 liters.

Now we substitute X = 10 in equation (ii) and find the amount of Cranberry juice.

Z = 0.8(10)

Z = 8 liters.

There are 8 liters of cranberry juice in the punch

The side of a square is 32/5, what is the area of the square
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 1,024/25 or 40.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of one side of a square is 32/5, and all sides of a square have the same length, then all sides of the square have 32/5 as the length.

In order to get the area of the square, you need to multiply one side by another.

32/5 * 32/5 = 1,024/5 (fraction form)

32/5 = 6.4

6.4 * 6.4 = 40.96 (decimal form)

What does 4x-2y=2 equal to step by step
podryga [215]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = 2

So I'm assuming that your goal is to solve for the value of y in terms of x

First: the whole equation can be divided by 2

2x - y = 1

Second: subtract 2x from both sides

-y = -2x + 1

Third: divide each side by -1

y = 2x - 1

Done! I would appreciate Brainliest but no worries.
