Answer:

80 ounces water

60 ounces brine

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water

Let y be the amount of brine 35%

The goal is to have salt weight of 140(0.15) = 21 oz.

21 = 0.35y

y = 60 oz

x = 140 - 60 = 80 oz

The measurment of one angle of a roght triangle of 34 what is the measurement if the third angle enter your a answer in the box
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x=56

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three angles in a right triangle.

One measurement is 34 , one is the right angle, and the third is x.  The angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

34+90 +x = 180

Combine like terms

124 +x =180

Subtract 124 from each side

124-124 +x =180-124

x =56

Choose the best graph that represents the linear equation:<br> 6x = y + 8
Agata [3.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

6x = y + 8\\y = 6x-8

Thus, the cut point with the y axis is -8. Therefore, we discard options C and B.

It is observed that the slope is positive so the correct graph is option B.

Answer:

Option B
