Answer:

x is mL of 25% acid and y is mL of 50% acid

We set up 2 equations:

A) x + y = 250

B) .25 x + .50y = .35 * 250 which equals

B) .25x + .50y = 87.50 Multiplying A) by -.5

A) -.5x -.5y = -125 adding the equations we get

-.25x = -37.50

x = 150 mL

y = 100 mL

Marcus has $5.45. He pays $1.25 for a bus ticket. He will buy some snacks before getting on the bus. Each snack will cost $0.75.

Rom4ik [11]

1.25 + 0.75x = 5.45 <== ur equation
0.75x = 5.45 - 1.25
0.75x = 4.20
x = 4.20 / 0.75
x = 5.6.....the maximum number of snacks he can buy is 5 <==

Which statement about x2 + 10x = 11 is true?

Agata [3.3K]

Equations are statements that have equal values, when compared

The true statement about $x^2 + 10x = 11$ are x = 1 and x = -11

<h3>How to determine the true statement</h3>

The equation is given as:

$x^2 + 10x = 11$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 10x - 11 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + 11x - x - 11 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 11) -1( x + 11) = 0$

Factor out x + 11

$(x -1)(x + 11) = 0$

Solve for x

x = 1 or x = -11

Hence, the true statement about $x^2 + 10x = 11$ are x = 1 and x = -11
