Answer:

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water for 1 lb of syrup; for 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water for 10 lb of syrup; for 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water for 0.67 lb of syrup; for 1.5% syrup, add 32.8 lb of water for 33.3 lb of syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of water added.  This means the total mass of the syrup is represented by 0.5+x.

To find percentages, we divide the part by the whole.  For a 50% syrup, we need the part (sugar) compared to the whole (sugar + water) to equal 50%, or 0.50:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property, we have

0.5 = 0.5(0.5)+0.5(x)

0.5 = 0.25+0.5x

Subtract 0.25 from each side:

0.5-0.25 = 0.25+0.5x-0.25

0.25 = 0.5x

Divide both sides by 0.5:

0.25/0.5 = 0.5x/0.5

x = 0.5

For 50% syrup, add 0.5 lb of water.  This makes the total mass 0.5+0.5 = 1 lb.

For 5% syrup, we change the equation to equal 0.05 (5% = 5/100 = 0.05) and leave everything else the same:

Multiply both sides by 0.5+x:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.05(0.5)+0.05(x)

0.5 = 0.025 + 0.05x

Subtract 0.025 from both sides:

0.5-0.025 = 0.025+0.05x-0.025

0.475 = 0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05:

0.475/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05

x = 9.5

For 5% syrup, add 9.5 lb of water; the total mass will be 9.5+0.5 = 10 lb.

For 75% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.75:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.75(0.5)+0.75(x)

0.5 = 0.375 + 0.75x

Subtract 0.375 from each side:

0.5 - 0.375 = 0.375 + 0.75x - 0.375

0.125 = 0.75x

Divide both sides by 0.75:

0.125/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75

0.17 = x

For 75% syrup, add 0.17 lb of water; the total mass is 0.17+0.5 = 0.67 lb.

For 1.5% syrup, set the equation equal to 0.015:

Using the distributive property,

0.5 = 0.015(0.5) + 0.015(x)

0.5 = 0.0075 + 0.015x

Subtract 0.0075 from each side:

0.5-0.0075 = 0.0075 + 0.015x - 0.0075

0.4925 = 0.015x

Divide both sides by 0.015:

0.4925/0.015 = 0.015x/0.015

32.8 = x

For 1.5% syrup, use 32.8 lb of water; the total mass is 32.8+0.5 = 33.3 lb.

I hope this is right and have a good day

Answer:

<em>See above photograph</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how your graph will look like with an x-intercept of [−5, 0] (will not see, according to the scale, but on my device, you can), and a y-intercept of [0, 50]. The way to figure out all the coordinates upon this scale is to simply create a y-x value chart. Plug in each input value [x-value] to get your output value [y-value]:

<u>x|y</u>

0|50

1|60

2|70

3|80

4|90

5|100

6|110

7|120

8|130

9|140

10|150

11|160

Then, you simply just draw your line based of this chart.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Emily spent a total of $38.04 on four CDs in a CD cost the same amount what is a reasonable amount for the cost of each city exp
pashok25 [27]
In order to find the cost of each CD, you would have to divide $38.04 by 4 CDs and you would get $9.51 as the cost of each CD. If you want to check if your answer is correct, you can either add $9.51 four times to get $38.04 or you can multiply $9.51 x 4 and you should get $38.04 remember that multiplication is always a way to check your answer for division problems and division is always a way to check an answer to your multiplicatiom problems. Just search it up for more info. Hope i helped! :)

5 (2x – 1) –7 = 2 (x – 3)
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

x−3=x−3

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (2x−1)−7, then set it equal to 2.

Subtract 7 from −1 = 2x−8

Solve 2x−8=2.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Add 8 to both sides of the equation=2x=2+8

Add 2 and 8=2x=10

Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Divide each term in 2x=10 by 2=2x/2=10/2

Cancel the common factor of 2

Cancel the common factor=10/2

Divide x by 1=x=10/2

Divide 10 by 2=x=5

Remove parentheses=x−3

List all of the solutions.

5=

(2x−1)−7=2=x=5

x−3=x−3
