Mathematics
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution A: 32 ounces}}

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution B: 8 ounces}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, let's first understand what the question is asking.

If we combine Solution A (with 35% salt) and Solution B (with 85% salt), our goal is to create a 40 ounce mixture with 45% salt.

Let's model an equation for this, assuming that a is the amount of ounces of Solution A and b is the amount of ounces of Solution B.

0.35a+0.85b= 40 \cdot 0.45

<em>Why?</em> Since 35% of a number is the same as multiplying it by 0.35, we can multiple the total number of ounces by the decimal to find how many ounces of it will contain salt.

We also know that we need 40 ounces of this mixture. Therefore, adding together Solution A and B must get 40:

a+b=40

We can now solve this systems of equations.

  • 0.35a+0.85b=18  
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\a+b=40
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\-0.35a - 0.35b=-14  
  • 0.5b=4
  • b=8

Now that we know Solution B needs 8 ounces of mixture, we can substitute it into an equation to solve for a.

  • a+b=40
  • a+8=40
  • a=40-8
  • a=32

Therefore, we need 32 ounces of Solution A and 8 ounces of Solution B.

Hope this helped!

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

820

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use order of operations, you can find that 3x0 and 1x400x100x456x0 is just 0 so you just have to add 2x2 and 34x24. Which is 820

order of operations is

GEMDAS

Grouping symbols

exponents

multiplication and division (these don't have to be in order)

Addition and Subtraction (again, these don't have to be in order)

Need help asap!!!!!!
Ostrovityanka [42]
They are inverses. 

The easiest way to solve this is to take the g(x) equation and switch the g(x) with the x. Then solve for your new g(x). Since it looks just like f(x) after doing that, it is an inverse.

PLZ HELP!!! 20 POINTS!!!<br><br> 1. Solve the system of equations by graphing: x + y = 3
sveticcg [70]
First you need to fix the equation in order to graph.
x + y = 3
Subtract x from both sides.
y = -1x + 3
Now graph.
(Whenever there is a variable by itself there is always a 1 in front of it.)
