Answer:

  • 4.0 L of 10%
  • 0.8 L of 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.

The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

  0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)

Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...

  0.12x = 0.02(4.8)

  x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.

(-4,2) is a solution to the following graph. True or False?
emmasim [6.3K]
Plugging in the values of (-4,2) into the two inequality statements to see whether it is part of the solution to the inequality system:

y ≥ -5x + 3
2 ≥ -5(-4) + 3
2 ≥ 20 + 3
2 ≥ 23 (false statement).

For the other inequality statement, substitute 2 for the y value:

y > -2
2 > -2 (true statement).

Since (-4,2) only satisfies one of the inequality statements, then it means that it is not a solution to the graph.

Therefore, the correct answer is FALSE.
