Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

•21x=3·7·x;

•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

How many milliliters of 0.30%. sugar solution must you add to 75 mL of 4% sugar solution to get a 0.50% sugar solution? show you
LekaFEV [45]
<span>We have 75 mL of 4% sugar solution.
We have to add a 30% sugar </span><span>solution to make a 50% </span><span>sugar solution.
75 * .04 + .30x = .50 * (75 +x)
3 + .30x = 37.5 +.50x
I can't get the equation to solve.
Did you type it correctly? For one thing, you have the percentages typed as .30 % and 4%.  Are the decimal places in the correct positions?

Also, no matter how much 30% sugar solution you add, it will NEVER increase to 50%.
