These are vertical angles, meaning they're always the same length.

$3x = x + 28$

$2x = 28$

$x = 14$

A pharmacist has an 18% alcohol solution and a 40% alcohol solution. How much of each should he mix together to make 10 liters o

ladessa [460]

X = amount of the 18% solution

y = amount of the 40% solution

we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.

likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.

we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{liters}{amount}&\stackrel{alcohol~\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{liters}{alcohol}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{18\% solution}&x&0.18&0.18x\\
\textit{40\% solution}&y&0.40&0.4y\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&10&0.20&2
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=10\implies \boxed{y}=10-x\\
0.18x+0.4y=2\\
----------\\
0.18x+0.4\left( \boxed{10-x} \right)=2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.18x-0.4x+4=2\implies -0.22x=-2
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{-2}{-0.22}\implies x=\cfrac{100}{11}\implies x=9\frac{1}{11}$

how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x

Find the surface area of a rectangular prism with base 4 m by 5 m and height 8 m.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area=area of sides +area of top and bottom

=2(4+5)×8+2×(4×5)

=2[(9×8)+20]

=2[72+20]

=2×92

=184 m²
