You are trying to recreate flubber because you are obsessed with that movie and you thought it was the coolest. you take 70% sli

me solution and some 40% slime solution to obtain 120 gallons of a 50% slime solution. how much of the 40% slime solution do you need to create your mixture?
a. 40

b. 80

c. 50

d. 70

can you help me solve?

Let x be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use 120-x gal of the 70% solution.

You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means

0.4x+0.7(120-x)=0.5\cdot120=60

\implies0.4x+84-0.7x=60

\implies24=0.3x

\implies x=80

so the answer is B.

Can someone please help me! I don’t understand how to do this!

Answer:

  a.  4x^2 +16x -48 = 4x^2 +16x -48

  b.  -3x^2 +12x +36 = -3x^2 +12x +36

  c.  x^2 +12x +35 = x^2 +12x +35

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, you would prove this by transforming one of the expressions into the other. The easiest would be to transform the factored form into the vertex form, perhaps, as this would spare you trying to explain the magic of factoring.

Alternatively, you can transform both expressions into the same (standard) form. I believe that will be the easiest of all.

The product of two binomials is ...

  (x +a)(x +b) = x(x +b) +a(x +b) = x^2 +bx +ax +ab

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab . . . . after collecting terms

The square of a binomial is the same thing, but with b=a, so ...

  (x +a)^2 = x^2 +2a +a^2

Using these forms, we can avoid showing all of the intermediate "work" of making the desired transformations.

__

a.  4(x -2)(x +6) = 4(x +2)^2 -64

  4(x^2 +4x -12) = 4(x^2 +4x +4) -64 . . . . . expanding the products

  4x^2 +16x -48 = 4x^2 +16x +16 -64 . . . . using the distributive property

  4x^2 +16x -48 = 4x^2 +16x -48 . . . . . collect terms; expressions are equal

__

b.  -3(x +2)(x -6) = -3(x -2)^2 +48

  -3(x^2 -4x -12) = -3(x^2 -4x +4) +48

  -3x^2 +12x +36 = -3x^2 +12x -12 +48

  -3x^2 +12x +36 = -3x^2 +12x +36

__

c.  (x +5)(x +7) = (x +6)^2 -1

  x^2 +12x +35 = x^2 +12x +36 -1

  x^2 +12x +35 = x^2 +12x +35

The sine of angle θ is 0.3.<br><br> What is cos(θ)?
Sergio [31]

The answer:

\sqrt{9}1 /10

Explanation to your question:

Since the sin of theta is 0.3, we can reasonably deduct that the opposite side to theta has a ration of 3 to 10 to that of the hypotenuse. Thus, the adjacent side to theta, using the pythagorean theorem, will be root91. Therefore, since the cosine of theta is the adjacent/hypotenuse, we get root 91/10
