Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.
The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ?
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height) .
The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture. Take those, and use them to find the area.
Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).
Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top: Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.
You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.
Answer:
We must add 400 ml of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the following equation:
Where:
- C(i) is the initial concentration of the solution (80%)
- C(f) is the final concentration of the solution (30%)
- V(i) is the initial volume (150 ml)
- V(f) is the final volume
Now, we just need to solve the equation for V(f).
Therefore, we must add 400 ml of water.
I hope it helps you!

Answer:
1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C. p(x) = 5x - 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = 8x - (3x + 12) (Note you have to put the 3x+12 in parentheses).
p(x) = 8x - 3x - 12
p(x) = 5x - 12
