I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
Measure of angle 3: C (46 degrees)
Step-by-step explanation:
As there is no attachment, I will assume the question is in reference to a triangle. Knowing that a triangle contains 3 angles the answer can be retrieved through simple steps:
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180 degrees, by Sum of Angles in Triangle Theorem, <em>thus;</em>
Through substitution + algebra:
134 + m∠3 = 180,
m∠3 = 46 degrees
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that passes through the two points would be correct if each point, when substituted into the equation, satisfy the equation.
This is what I mean:
Given the equation of the line, y = 2x - 5, and the two points (-2, -9) and (3, 1):
For the first point, substitute x = -2, and y = -9 into y = 2x - 5.
Thus:
-9 = 2(-2) - 5
-9 = -4 - 5
-9 = -9 (this is true). It means the line runs through the point (-2, -9)
For the second point, substitute x = 3, and y = 1 into y = 2x - 5
This:
1 = 2(3) - 5
1 = 6 - 5
1 = 1 (this is true). This also means the point, (3, 1) is also a point that the equation runs across.

Answer: 22%</h3>
Explanation:
amount saved = 350-273 = 77 dollars.
Divide this amount over the original price
77/350 = 0.22 = 22% is the discount rate
