Answer:

a = 20 . . . . liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, multiply the equation by 30+a:

a = 0.4(30 +a)

a = 12 + 0.4a . . . . . eliminate parentheses

0.6a = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.4a

a = 12/0.6 = 20 . . . divide by the coefficient of a

20 L of alfalfa must be added

Check

20/(30+20) = 20/50 = 40/100 = 0.4 . . . . . . answer checks OK

Matthew scored a total of 168 points this basket ball season. He scored 147 of those points in the regular season, and the rest

Ksivusya [100]

$\frac{147}{168} = \frac{x}{100}$
147×100=14700
168×x=168x
14700÷168=87.5
100-87.5=12.5
Your answer is 12.5 percent of it were earned during the playoffs. Hope I was helpful.

Amber is solving the inequality |x+6|-12<13 by graphing. Which equations should Amber graph?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y₁ = |x + 6| and y₂ = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality

|x+6| - 12 < 13
|x+6| < 13 + 12
|x+6| < 25

To solve this inequality graphically you need two graphs according left and right sides of inequality

So the graphs should be:

y₁ = |x + 6| and y₂ = 25

See attached for the graph
