Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a number, then twice a number is 2x. The difference between 17 and 2x is 17-2x.

Common Error:

A. says 17 less than twice a number. Since it is 17 less, it is 2x-17 not 17-2x.

Hope this answer helped! :)

Suppose 6 quarts of a solution that is 52% antifreeze is mixed with 10 quarts of a solution that is 32% antifreeze. (A) how many
Vadim26 [7]
The total amount of the resulting mixture can be calculated by adding up the volume of the given substances assuming that volume addition is applicable given the properties of the fluids used. 

That is,
   T = 6 quarts + 10 quarts = 16 quarts

The total volume of the resulting mixture is 16.

Then, we do the component (antifreeze) balance by adding up the resulting antifreeze from the substances to the total. We let x be the percentage of antifreeze in the final mixture.

    6(0.52) + 10(0.32) = 16(x)

The value of x from the equation is 0.395.

Therefore, the answer to this item is 39.5%.

A kayak rental company charges $25.00 to rent a kayak and $3.50 for each half hour it is used.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Option D (r(t) = 3.50t +25 ; r(8) = 53)

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed cost to rent the kayak $25. This is the cost which remains fixed irrespective of the usage of the kayak. The variable cost of using the kayak is the cost which depends on the usage of the kayak. It is mentioned that the kayak is used for 4 hours and the company charges $3.5 for every half hour. The cost function is given by:

r(t) = 25 + 3.5t ; there r is the total cost of using the kayak and t is the number of half-hours the kayak is used.

4 hours means that there are 8 half-hours. Therefore, t=8. Put t=8 in r(t).

r(8) = 25 + 3.5*(8) = 25 + 28 = 53.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer!!!

2. Find the product (2x + 3)(3x - 2).
eimsori [14]

Answer:

6x² + 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2x + 3)(3x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x(3x - 2) + 3(3x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6x² - 4x + 9x - 6 ← collect like terms

= 6x² + 5x - 6

Thirty percent of the people refused to work and just sat around. if 1400 people worked, how many just sat around?
Nezavi [6.7K]
30% can also be written as .3, which is easier to use in this case.

To find how many just sat around, multiply the number of people by the percentage of how many just sat around.

1400*.3=420
