Answer:

The number of liters for :

Acid solution a = x = 8 liters

Acid solution b = y = 32 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of liters for :

Acid solution a = x

Acid solution b = y

Suppose a chemist combines a 25% acid solution and a 50% acid solution to make 40 L of 45% acid solution.

x + y = 40 ...... Equation 1

x = 40 - y

25% × x + 50% × y = 45% × 40

0.25x + 0.5y = 18...... Equation 2

We substitute, 40 - y for x in Equation 2

0.25(40 - y)+ 0.5y = 18

10 - 0.25y + 0.5y = 18

- 0.25y + 0.5y = 18 - 10

0.25y = 8

y = 8/0.25

y = 32 Liters

Solving for x

x = 40 - y

x = 40 - 32

x = 8 Liters.

Hence:

The number of liters for :

Acid solution a = x = 8 liters

Acid solution b = y = 32 liters

What are the key aspects of the graph of f(x) = x2 – b2, where b is a real number?
netineya [11]

Given equation is f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2.

Now we need to find about what are the key aspects of the graph of f\left(x\right)=x^2-b^2, where b is a real number.

We know that square of any number is always positive.

then b^2 must be a positive number.

So that means for any real number b, as the value of b increases then graph of f(x) shifts downward by b^2 units as compared to the graph of parent function f\left(x\right)=x^2

3. Find the values of the variables and the lengths of the sides of this kite.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

So, the correct option is A. x = 9, y = 14 , Sides are 11 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - the exact question is -

As given in the question ,

Side AB = Side AD

⇒y - 3 = x + 2

⇒y - x = 2 + 3 = 5

⇒y - x = 5                        .........(1)

Also, given

Side BC = Side CD

⇒2x + 2 = x + 11

⇒2x - x = 11 - 2

⇒x = 9

∴ equation (1) becomes

y - 9 = 5

⇒y = 5 + 9 = 14

⇒y = 14

∴ we get

x = 9, y = 14

Now,

as given ,

Side AB = y - 3

⇒ AB = 14 - 3 = 11

Side BC = 2x + 2

⇒ BC = 2(9) + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20

Side CD = x + 11

⇒ CD = 9 + 11 = 20

Side DA = x + 2

⇒DA = 9 + 2 = 11

∴ we get

The sides are 11 and 20

So,

The correct option is A. x = 9, y = 14 , Sides are 11 and 20
