Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ounces of

A = x

B = y

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 55% salt. She wants to obtain 90 ounces of a mixture that is 45% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Our system of equations is given as

x + y = 90.... Equation 1

x = 90 - y

40% × x + 55% × y = 45% × 90 ounces

0.4x + 0.55y = 40.5....Equation 2

We substitute 90 - y for x in Equation 2

What is the value of x in the equation 1/2x-3/4=3/8-5/8x?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 3/4 = 3/8 - 5/8x

The LCD is 8. Lets change every fraction to a denominator of 8.

4/8x - 6/8 = 3/8 - 5/8x

Now multiply both sides by 8.

4x - 6 = 3 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides. Add 6 to both sides.

9x = 9

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 1

PLEASE HELP! Let f(x)= 6x+1 find f(a) + f(2)
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

6(a)+14

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find f(a) and f(2) separately, then add them together after

f(a) = 6(a)+1

f(2) = 6(2)+1 = 12+1 = 13

so f(a)+f(2) = 6(a)+1+13 = 6(a)+14

I need to figure out what x is
Svet_ta [14]
For all triangles, the angle sum is 180°, therfore we can add all the angles up to solve x
54 + 55 + x + 74 =180
183 + x =180
X = 180 - 183
X = - 3 °
Don't worry, negative result is normal and possible.
