A. figure ABCD is similar to figure A'B'C'D'
Answer:
The value of x would be
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain 5% gravel mixture,
Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,
⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),
0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y
0.05x = 0.03y

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,
i.e. 

From equation (1),




Answer:
3.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the "negative solution" is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number by n.
Then n^2 - 24 = 5n
We rewrite this in standard quadratic form:
n^2 - 5n - 24 = 0
This factors as follows; (n + 3)(n - 8) = 0
The roots are n = -3 and n = 8. Thus, the "negative solution" is -3
