Answer: T

=

$

36

Step-by-step explanation: Hmm...

Let's organize this problem.

Since he saved

$

30

, he as

$

30

Now, that is five-sixths of the total cost of the game.

Let's name the total cost

T

.

If we have a fraction of something, say, half of four, we multiply the fraction by the whole.

half of four

1

2

⋅

4

Similarly, two-thirds of the total can be represented as:

5

6

⋅

T

Now, the problem is telling us that

$

30

is equal to the expression above.

Therefore,

2/3

T

=

30

=>

6

5

T

=

5

⋅

30

=>

T

=

=>

T

=

How much pure acid should be mixed with 6 gallons of a 50% acid solution in order to get a 70% acid​ solution?
Mashutka [201]
To help with thinking about this, we can say that the 6 gallons of 50% acid contains 3 gallons of pure acid and 3 gallons of filler. This would make the concentration 3/6, or 50%. Adding a gallon of pure acid would shift the concentration to 4/7, or 57.1%.

When the relationship becomes 70%, four gallons of pure acid have been added.

3+4 7
—— = — = 70%

Solve each system by substitution 2x + y = 20 and 6x - 5y = 12
ivolga24 [154]

\huge\mathbf{Answer࿐}

\underline{ \underline{ \bf{step} - 1}}

Taking first equation,

  • 2x + y = 20

  • y = 20 - 2x

\underline{ \underline{ \bf{step} - 2}}

plugging the value of y in second equation,

  • 6x - 5y = 12

  • 6x - 5(20 - 2x) = 12

  • 6x - 100 + 10x = 12

  • 16x = 12 + 100

  • x =  \dfrac{112}{16}

  • x = 7

\underline{ \underline{ \bf{step} -3}}

plugging the value of x in first equation,

  • 2x + y = 20

  • (2 \times 7) + y = 20

  • 14 + y = 20

  • y = 20 - 14

  • y = 6

<h2>Conclusion :</h2>

  • x = 7
  • y = 6

A line has a slope of -2 and a Y intercept of -3. Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept. Which of the following points
nikdorinn [45]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

(1.5 , 0) , (-6 , 9) , (3 , -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the equation of the line, which is:

y = mx + c

Where m is the gradient (or slope) and c is the y-intercept. Simply replace these values with the one given to you:

y = -2x -3

Now, simply draw this line by finding two points,

x = 0

y = -2(0) - 3

y = -3 when x = 0

When x = 3

y = -2(3) - 3

y = -9 when x = 3

Now you can use these points to plot the graph. (attacthed a screenshot of it)

Now simply find which given co-ordinates fit on the line. The points on the line are:

(1.5 , 0) , (-6 , 9) , (3 , -9)
