I guess the chef is making the mixture for the sheriff... Let <em>x</em> be the amount of dressing with 5% vinegar that is required, and <em>y</em> the amount of 15% vinegar dressing (both amounts in mL).

The sheriff wants 390 mL of the mixed dressing, so that

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 390

<em>x</em> mL of the 5% dressing contains 0.05<em>x</em> mL of vinegar, while <em>y</em> mL of the 15% dressing contains 0.15<em>y</em> mL of vinegar. The resulting mixture should have a concentration of 9% vinegar, so that it contains 0.09 (390 mL) = 35.1 mL of vinegar. This means

0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15<em>y</em> = 35.1

Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 390 - <em>x</em>

0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15 (390 - <em>x</em>) = 35.1

0.05<em>x</em> + 58.5 - 0.15<em>x</em> = 35.1

23.4 = 0.10<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 234

<em>y</em> = 156

2x+16 = -5x-40

-16 on both sides

2x = -5x-56

+5x on both sides

7x = -56

x=-8

so the first option

In 22, you're looking for the vertical height of the triangle. You're given the angle opposite the side you want to find (which I'll call x) and the length of the hypotenuse. This sets you up with the relation

\sin2^\circ=\dfrac x{1600}\implies x\approx55.84\text{ m}

In 23, you're given a similar situation, except now you're looking for the angle (I'll call it \theta) in the triangle opposite the side denoting the height of the airplane. So this time,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{1500}{5000}=\dfrac3{10}\implies\theta=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}\approx17.46^\circ

can terms be separated by multiplication signs or are they only separated between plus and minus signs?
Katen [24]

<span>the product of a number and the same number less 3 
x(x – 3)</span>

The words "the product of" tell us we're going to multiply a number times the number less 3. In this case, we'll use parentheses to represent the multiplication. The words "less 3" tell us to subtract three from the unknown number.

a number divided by the same number less five

The words "divided by" tell us we're going to divide a number by the difference of the number and 5. In this case, we'll use a fraction to represent the division. The words "less 5" tell us we need a minus sign because we're going to subtract five.
