This problem involves two unknowns, thus, it can be solved using two independent equations. We first assign a variable for each real number.
Let:
x = first real number
y = second real number
Two independent equations must then be set up which will come from the problem statement. The first equation is obtained from the statement that the average of the two real numbers is 41.375. The second equation then shows that the product of the two real numbers is equal to 1668. The equations are then:
(1) (x + y)/2 = 41.375
(2) x*y = 1668
We then express the variable y in terms of x, such that, y = 1668/x. This is then applied in equation 1 in order to have only a single variable in the equation. After doing mathematical operations, x is then calculated to be 34.75. This value of x is then substituted in the second equation to obtain y. Finally, the two real numbers have been determined to be x = 34.75 and y = 48.

What are we supposed to find?
Answer:
20 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
10 gallons of solution w/ 15% juice means 1.5 gal of juice
to make it into 5%, multiply 1.5 by 20
1.5 x 20 = 30
5% of 30 gallons is 1.5 since 10% of 30 is 3.
Since there was already 10 gallons, the # of gallons of pure water added should be 20 gal.
I hope this helps thanks
Answer: There will enough to paint the outside of a typical spherical water tower.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Solve for the radius r from the formula for calculate the volume of a sphere. as following:
2. Substitute values:
3. Substitute the value of the radius into the equation fo calculate the surface area of a sphere, then you obtain that the surface area of a typical spherical water tower is:
3. If a city has 25 gallons of paint available and one gallon of paint covers 400 square feet of surface area, you must multiply 25 by 400 square feet to know if there will be enough to paint the outside of a typical spherical water tower.
As you can see, there will enough to paint the outside of a typical spherical water tower.
