How many ounces of 50% alcohol solution must be mixed with 80 ounces of a 20% alcohol solution to make a 40% alcohol solution?

X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing

Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.

We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80

next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:

0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16

Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240

<h2>1.</h2><h3>1)</h3>

Put the given values of p and q in the factored form equation.

... f(x) = (x -(-1))(x -(-2)) . . . . p and q values put in

... f(x) = (x +1)(x +2) . . . . . . .simplified

<h3>2)</h3>

Multiplying the factors, we have

... f(x) = x(x +2) + 1(x +2) = x² +2x +1x +2

... f(x) = x² +3x +2

<h2>2.</h2>

We want to factor x³ -x² -6x. We notice first of all that x is a factor of all terms. Thus we have

... = x(x² -x -6)

Now, we're looking for factors of -6 that add up to -1. Those are -3 and 2. Thus the factorization is ...

... = x(x -3)(x +2)

<h2>3.</h2>

We want a description of the structure and an equivalent expression for

... 64x⁹ -216

We note that 64, 216, and x⁹ are all cubes, so this expression is ...

... the difference of cubes.

It can be rewritten to

... = 8((2x³)³ -3³)

and so can be factored as

... = 8(2x³ -3)(4x⁶ +6x³ +9)

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

A=30-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one cup of coffee=$2

The original amount of money on the gift card= $30

Juan's expenses in buying coffee, after x morning are \$2\times x.

The amount of money left, A, on the card = (Original amount) - (Total expenses)

A=30-2x

Hence, the equation for, A, the amount of money remaining on the card is

A=30-2x.
