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

The quotient of a number x and −1.5  is 21
Andru [333]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

x = -31.5

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the quotient of x and -1.5 is 21

<u>This means that:</u>

\frac{x}{-1.5} =21

To get the value of x, we will multiply both sides of the equation by -1.5

<u>This means that:</u>

\frac{x}{-1.5} * -1.5=21*-1.5

x = -31.5

<u>Note that</u> the value of x must be negative because we are dividing by a negative number and the quotient is positive (-ve/-ve is +ve and +ve/-ve is -ve)

Hope this helps :)

Graph the inequality.<br> -6 ≤y + 2x &lt; 15
omeli [17]

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. The correct option is B.

<h3>What are inequalities?</h3>

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed. It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.


The given inequality -6 ≤y + 2x < 15 can be broken into two small inequality, as shown below.

  • -6 ≤y + 2x
  • y + 2x < 15

Now, if we plot the inequality as shown below, then the area in which both the shaded region overlap is the area of the this inequality.

Hence, the correct option is B.
