Nico because 1 cm equals 10 mm, so Jake’s thumb is only 5.5 cm.
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
(-7)2 = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
The parenthesis basically mean "multiply". So, this is a simple equation meaning -7 x 2. And remember, anytime we multiply a positive by a negative, you get a negative. So, simply multiply 7 x 2 = 14 and add a negative sign to make the solution true. So, -7 x 2 or (-7)2 = -14
Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or your teacher to be sure you master the subject. Also thank you for the generous points!! Stay safe and please mark brainliest!!
