Chase has 3 gallons of a solution that is 30% antifeeze that he wants to use to winterize his car. How much pure antifreeze shou
makvit [3.9K]

Let  x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.

There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then

3 gallons - 100%,

a gallons - 30%,

where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.

Mathematically,

\dfrac{3}{a}=\dfrac{100}{30},\\ \\a=\dfrac{3\cdot 30}{100}=0.9\ gallons.

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.

x+3 gallons - 100%,

x+0.9 - 65%

or

\dfrac{x+3}{x+0.9}=\dfrac{100}{65},\\ \\65(x+3)=100(x+0.9),\\ \\65x+195=100x+90,\\ \\35x=105,\\ \\x=3\ gallons.

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (-7,0) and radius 3√3.
mario62 [17]

Answer: (x +7)^2 + y^2 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle is written as such:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

Where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is the radius.

We know that the center is (-7, 0), so we can plug that into the equation like this: (x +7)^2 + y^2 = r^2

The radius is 3 * the square root of 3. To square this, we can multiply 3 squared and the square root of 3 squared:

3^2 * \sqrt{3} ^2 = 9 * 3

So, your standard form equation is the following:

(x +7)^2 + y^2 = 27
