Answer:
u=54
Step-by-step explanation:
VX is middle line of triangle, so
VX=ZY/2.....(1)
We know that
Zy=u
Vx=u-27
Put that in (1) we have:
u-27=u/2
2u-54=u
2u-u=54
u=54
I drew the segment and used Pythagorean theorem to solve for its measure. The line formed is the hypotenuse of the imaginary right triangle.
Among the choices only -1.33 and -1.25 is a feasible choice. But I am leaning towards -1.25 as the y-value of point F based on my diagram. Please see attachment.
Answer:
- 26 ounces of 55% solution
- 104 ounces of 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130
0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)
x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104
130-x = 26
She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.
