You want to mix a 5% blue dye with a 20% blue dye to make a 12% blue dye. The function y =100(0.05)+x(0.2)/100+x gives the conce

ntration y of blue dye after you add x mL of the 20% dye to 100 mL of the 5% dye. How much of the 20% dye must you add to get a dye that is 12% concentrated?

Y = 12% = 0.12

y = 100(0.05) + x(0.2) / 100 + x
0.12 = 5 + 0.2x / 100 + x
0.12( 100 + x ) = 5 + 0.2x
12 + 0.12x = 5 + 0.2x
7 = 0.08x
x = 87.5

hope this help

Answer:

87.5 ml is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You want to mix a 5% blue dye with a 20% blue dye to make a 12% blue dye. The function y =100(0.05)+\frac{(0.2)x}{100+x} gives the concentration y of blue dye after you add x mL of the 20% dye to 100 mL of the 5% dye.

To find : How much of the 20% dye must you add to get a dye that is 12% concentrated?

Solution :

Let x be the concentration.

According to question,

y = 12% = 0.12  

We have given,

y =\frac{100(0.05)+(0.2)x}{100+x}

Put y=0.12,

0.12=\frac{100(0.05)+(0.2)x}{100+x}

0.12\times (100+x)=5+(0.2)x

12+0.12x=5+(0.2)x

12-5=(0.2)x-0.12x

7=0.08x

x=\frac{7}{0.08}

x=87.5

Therefore, 87.5 ml is needed.

What is B-CF?
Sholpan [36]

I'm guessing on the make up of the matrices.
First off let's look at [C][F].
[C]=
[F]=
[C][F]=
where each element of [C][F] comes from multiplying a row of [C] with a column of [F].
Example: First element is product of first row and first column.

.
.
.
Now that we have [C][F], we can subtract it from [B], element by element,


[B]-[C][F]=
[B]-[C][F]=
.
.
.
If this is not how the matrices look,please re-state the problem and be more specific about the make up of the matrices (rows x columns).
Here's an example.
[A] is a 2x2 matrix. A=[1,2,3,4].
The assumption is that [A] looks like this,
[A]=
[B] is a 3x2 matrix. B=[5,6,7,8,9,10]
[B]=

Ella has a points card for a movie theater.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

175<=12.5x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts with 40 points already so you add in those 40 then since she gets 12.5 points per visit that is your x, so you set that as greater than or equal to 175
