Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

total ratio is 15

gallons of red =

\frac{12}{15}  \times 6 \times  \frac{15}{0.5 }  \\  \\  = 144

gallons of yellow

30

gallons of blue

\frac{0.5}{15}  \times 30 \times  \frac{15}{2.5}  \\  \\  = 6

total =144+30+6

=180

Solve the system of equations : y = x/2 , y = -x - 3 . You can use any method you wish for solving systems of equations. Check y
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem:</u>

Solve y=x2;y=−x−3

<u>Steps:</u>

I will solve your system by substitution.

y=1/2x;y=−x−3

Step: Solve y= 1/2x for y:

Step: Substitute 1/2 x for y in y=−x−3:

y=−x−3

1/2x= =−x−3

1/2x+x=−x−3+x(Add x to both sides)

3/2x = -3

3/2x/3/2 = -3/3/2 (Divide both sides by 3/2)

x=−2

Step: Substitute −2 for x in y=1/2x:

y=1/2x

y=1/2(-2)

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

<u>Answer:</u>

x=−2 and y=−1

the temperature in an experiment is increased at a constant rate over a period of time until the temperature reaches 0 degrees c
dsp73

Answer:

x = 28 (So it takes 28 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C.)

y = -70 (So the temperature when the experiment begins is −70°C.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the the x value, you remove the y value or replace it with 0.

0 = 5/2x - 70

Next you move the variable.

70 (2/5) = x           (multiply 70 by 2 to get 140 and divide that by 5)

And now you simplify to get:

28

To find the y value, you remove the x value or replace it with 0.

y =  0 - 70

And now you simplify to get:

-70

x = 28

y = -70

Which is greater, 35% of 60 or 30% of 80?
lara [203]
35% of 60 = (35/100)*60 = 0.35 * 60 = 21

30% of 80 = (30/100)*80 = 0.30 * 80 = 24

24 is greater than 21.

30% of 80 is greater.
