Answer: 600 bushels of 10% alcohol content and 400 bushels of 15% alcohol content.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let we add x quantity of 10% of alcohol content and y quantity of 15% alcohol content for making 12% of alcohol content mixture.

Then according to the question, 10% of x + 15 % of y = 12% of 1000

⇒ 0.1x + 0.15y = 120

⇒ 10x + 15y = 1200

⇒ 2x +3y  = 2400 -------- (1)

And, x + y = 1000

⇒ 2x + 2y = 2000 ---------(2)

Equation 1) - equation 2)

We get y = 400

By putting the value of y in equation 1),

⇒2x + 1200 = 2400

⇒ 2x = 1200

⇒ x = 600

Thus, he needs to mix 600 bushel of 10% of alcohol content with 400 bushels of 12% of alcohol content for getting 1000 bushels of 12% of alcohol content.

How many solutions does the equation x^2-9x=-8 have?
Elza [17]
X^2-9x=-8
x^2-9x+8=-8+8
x^2-9x+8=0
(x-8)(x-1)=0

x-8=0
x-8+8=0+8
x=8

x-1=0
x-1+1=0+1
x=1

There are 2 solutions, which are 1 and 8

Is the triangle an equilateral triangle
solong [7]
It is not an equilateral triangle. To prove this, you must solve for x. I found x by setting 2x+5.2 = 3x+1.2 to get x=4. Then I plugged 4 into equation to see if they were equal. 2(4)+5.2= 13.2 and 3(4)+1.3=13.2 but 2(4)+6.2=14.2. This allows us to conclude that the triangle is not equilateral because all of the sides are NOT congruent. Hope that helped:))

Andrew had 40 dollars to spend on paying the paint store was having a sale each color comes in one gallon container that cost $1
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

yes, he would have enough money

He would need a total of 1.5 gallons to paint the wall .

the cost of 1.5 gallons is $18 dollars.

Andrew has 40. he has enough money

Step-by-step explanation:

total gallon needed to pain four walls = 3/8 x 4 = 1 1/2 gallons

total cost of 1 1/2 gallons = 1 1/2 x $12

to calculate this amount convert 1 1/2 to improper fraction

to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :  

1. Multiply the whole number  by the denominator

2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step

3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator  

3/2 x $12 = $18
