Roberta wants to create 17 ounces of new hand lotion, with a minimum 15% concentration of beeswax, from a mixture of two lotions

. One lotion has a 21% concentration of beeswax, and the second lotion has a concentration of 5% beeswax. Based on the inequality below, how much of the 21% lotion, x, will she need? 0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55 where x is the amount of 21% lotion needed

Given

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Open the parenthesis

0.21x + 0.85-0.05x > 2.55

Collect like terms

0.21x-0.05x+0.85>2.55

0.16x+0.85>2.55

0.16x>2.55-0.85

0.16x > 1.7

x > 1.7/0.16

x > 10.625

Hence she will need 21% lotion approximately greater than 10 ounces

Question 6 of 10<br><br> f(x) = 5x + 1) – 3<br> g(x) = 4<br> Find (f - g)(x).
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Answer:

5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x) is nothing but f(x) - g(x)

f(x) is |5x + 1| - 3 and g(x) is 4 so the equation is [|5x+1| - 3] - [4]

Once this is solved, the answer is 5x - 6. Since there's absolute value, remove the negative and change it to a positive to get the answer 5x + 6.

The figure shown is a rectangular prism. Which edges are parallel to HK ?
kolezko [41]

Line HK is the line of intersection between pllanes AMKH and HKDY.

Consider all given options:

1. Line PB is the line of intersection between pllanes APBM and PBDY. Since planes APBM || HKDY and AMKH || PBDY, then lines PB and HK are parallel.

2. Line AM is the line of intersection between pllanes APBM and AMKH. Since planes APBM || HKDY and parallel planes are cut by plane AMKH, then lines AM and HK are parallel.

3.  Line YD is the line of intersection between pllanes HKDY and AMKH. Since planes AMKH || PBDY and parallel planes are cut by plane HKDY, then lines YD and HK are parallel.

4. Lines HA and HK intersect each other at point H, thus they are not parallel.

5. Lines BM and HK  are not parallel, because MB || DK and DK intersect HK at point K.

Answer: correct choices are A, B, C.
