Let q be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + q quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + q quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + q) / (8 + q) = 0.60

Solve for q :

3.2 + q = 0.60 (8 + q)

3.2 + q = 4.8 + 0.6q

0.4q = 1.6

q = 4

[1] x² - 4/2x - 4

3² - 4/2 × 3 - 4 = 9 - 4/2
5/2

[2] 4 - 3x/2x + 4

4 - 3 × 2/2 × 2 + 4 = 2/8
1/4

[3] x²/2x² - 2

0²/2 × 0² - 2

[4] x² + 5/5 - x

- 2² + 5/5 + 2 = 4 + 5/7
9/7

[5] - x³/x² - 4

- 1³/-1² - 4 = - 1/1 - 4
1/3

[6] x + 3/x³ - 1

[7] 5 - x²/3x²

5 - (- 4)²/3 × - 4² = 5 - 16/3 × 16
- 11/48

[8] - 2x + 6/2x³ - 3

- 2 × - 2 + 6/2 × - 2³ - 3
10/- 19

[9] 4x²/- 3x² + 1

4 × 1²/- 3 × 1² + 1 = 4/- 2

Why would understanding perpendicular and parallel lines be extremely important to someone in construction? Provide an example o

Tems11 [23]

Understanding perpendicular and parallel lines are extremely important, especially in the engineering field when building infrastructures or houses because they need to calculate how they will keep a building stable. For example, bridges we see have a lot of perpendicular and parallel lines, that's because without those the bridge can't hold itself up, it needs support from the metals that are parallel and perpendicular.

hope this helps!!

CALCULUS: Determine which function is a solution to the differential equation y ' − y = 0.

Montano1993 [528]

C: none of these are solutions to the given equation.

• If y(x) = e², then y is constant and y' = 0. Then y' - y = -e² ≠ 0.

• If y(x) = x, then y' = 1, but y' - y = 1 - x ≠ 0.

The actual solution is easy to find, since this equation is separable.

y' - y = 0

dy/dx = y

dy/y = dx

∫ dy/y = ∫ dx

ln|y| = x + C

y = exp(x + C )

y = C exp(x) = C eˣ

Mrs. Bonse bought a box of erasers. The box had 5 different shapes of erasers. There were 8 of each shape of eraser in the box.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Gail is correct and Brianne is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 5 different shaped erasers and 8 of each, you would have to multiply $5x8$ which equals 40. If there are 4 people in the group, 40 divided by 10 equals 4.
