Answer:

Pure water =74.1 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 420 mL of a 70% alcohol solution.

420 mL of solution and 70% of it should be alcohol.

So,

420 * 70/100 mL

= 420 * 0.7

= 294 mL of alcohol and the rest should be water.

On hand, you have a 85% alcohol mixture.

The alcohol can only come from the 85% mixture. So, how much of 85% alcohol do we need to get 294 mL of alcohol:

Let

y = alcohol solution needed

85% of y = 294

85/100 * y = 294

y = 294 ÷ 85/100

y = 294 × 100/85

y = 29,400/85

y = 345.88235294117

Approximately, 345.9mL

The rest of 420 mL solution has to be pure water

Pure water = 420 mL - 345.9mL

= 74.1 mL

Pure water =74.1 mL

Which phrase describes the algebraic expression 6x?
Allisa [31]

The algebraic expression uses the terms to denote symbols

sum of means addition

difference of means subtraction

product of means multiplication

quotient of means division

Here we have the term 6x

which actually means 6 times x or

6 multiplied by x

hence by multiplication we use the word product of

so we have the product of 6 and a number as our right answer

Y = 3/2x + 5/4 −2x + 8y = −25
Andreyy89

Answer:

<h2>x = -347 1/2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving algebra, it is important the we follow the steps in correct order and check our answer at the end.

Step 1: Simplify by combining like terms

y = -x/2 + 5/4 + 8y = -25

Step 2: Substitute

y = -25

-25 = -x/2 + 5/4 + 8(-25)

-25 = -x/2 + 5/4 + -200

-25 = -x/2 - 198 3/4

Step 3: Answer

x = -347 1/2

Step 4: Check

y = 3/2x + 5/4 −2x + 8y = −25

-25 = 3/2(-347 1/2) + 5/4 −2(-347 1/2) + 8(-25)

-25 = -25✔️

Step 5: Verified Answer

x = -347 1/2

I'm always happy to help :)

What would be the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at (0,1)<br> and <br>(5,7) ?​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

(2.5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ), then midpoint is

[0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Given

(0, 1) and (5, 7), then

midpoint = [ 0.5(0 + 5), 0.5(1 + 7) ] = (0.5(5), 0.5(8)) = (2.5, 4)
