Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
Y=-3x+4
slope is -6/2=-3
y-intercept 4
Answer:
(f - g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 3x + 5
g(x) = x²
(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)
<u>Step 2: Find (f - g)(x)</u>
- Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 3x + 5 - x²
- Rewrite: (f - g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5
