The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x: the total mass of the chemical in the container
y: a sample of a chemical from a container
We have the following equation:
y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Then, for y = 39.1 we have:
39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Clearing x:
(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4
(3/10) x = 44.85
x = (10/3) * (44.85)
x = 149.5 grams
Answer:
the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:
x = 149.5 grams.
You're answer would be 3843000 because the number in the hundredths place is 5 so you would round up your answer
Answer:
A because 72 divided by 8 is 9 and Henry earns $12 per hour and mike get $9 per hour so there is a $3 difference
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is 553 beasts
Step by step:
Multiply 158 by 3 to get 474
Divide 158 by 2 to get 79
Add 474 with 79 and get 553
Answer: x = 0; y = 2; z = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x+2y+z=9
x-y+3z=13
2z=10
==
Start with the last equation: 2z = 10, therefore z = 5 [easy]
Let's rewrite the second equation with 1) z=5, and 2) rearrange to find x:
x-y+3z = 13
x - y +3*5 = 13
x = y-2
Now use the values for x [(y-2)] and y [5] in the first equation:
X+2y+z=9
(y-2) +2y + 5 = 9
3y +3 = 9
3y = 6
y = 2
Now that we have y [2] and z [5], let's use the first equation to solve for x:
x+2y+z=9
x + 4 + 5 = 9
x + 9 = 9
x = 0
====
Try the three values (x=0, y=2, and z=5) in any of the formulas. The result should/will equal the number shown.
