notice, that, pure juice is 100% juice, dohhh, thus 100/100 = 1.00
50% is 50/100 or 0.50 in decimal format
so..... whatever those two quantities amount to, that is, the 50% and pure juice, or (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00)
they will equal the mixture desired 60% juice, or 0.60, namely (4+x)(0.60)
thus (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00) = (4+x)(0.60)
solve for "x"
For the triangle, x is 12 units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuse is the side which is the longest in the triangle and is always opposite the right angle.
In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 units long. The other two sides measure 5 units and x units.
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get
Rounding this off to the nearest hundred, we get that x is 12 units long.
