Answer:

60 oz of water to add

45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amt no. ounces in the first solution

and  105 - x = amt no. of ounces in the second solution

Ist solution contains 0% salt

2nd solution contains .35(105 - x) salt

.15(105= amt of salt in mix

So.

amt of salt in 1st solution + amt of salt in 2nd solution = amt of salt in the mix

0 + .35(105 - x) = .15(105)

Let's get rid of the fractions by multipying thru the equation by 100

35(105 - x) = 15(105)

3675 - 35x = 1575

-35x = -2100

x = 60 oz of water to add

105 - 60 = 45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used

Two lines intersect to form angles 1, 2, 3, and 4 as given. The measure of ∠3 is 38°. What is the measure of ​∠2​ ?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

142° is the measure of angle 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines intersect, they make four angles. The angles facing each other are equal.

Let's say that two lines a and b intersected each other to make angles 1,2,3 and 4 respectively.

The measure of angle 3 = 38 degrees.

We know that the angle 1 is against angle 3 and is equal to 38.

Also Angle 2 and Angle 4 are also against each other and are equal let's say equal to x degrees.

Now, the sum of all four angles = 360 degrees

∠1 + ∠2+ ∠3 + ∠4 = 360°

38° + x + 38° + x = 360°

2x = 360° - 76°

2x = 284°

x = 142°

Hence, ∠2 = 142°

Olin [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24x = 3 * 8 * x

3     = 3 * 1

Greatest common factor = 3

24x +3 = 3*8x + 3*1

           =3(8x + 1)
