Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Help me please by solving and showing the steps:)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

-\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Write g(t) as y, resulting in y=-\frac{8}{27}t^3

2: Interchange the variables y and t, resulting in t=-\frac{8}{27}y^3

3: Multiply both sides by 27, resulting in 27t=-8y^3

4: Divide both sides by -8, resulting in -\frac{27t}{8}=y^3

5: Find the cube root of both sides, resulting in \sqrt[3]{-\frac{27t}{8} }=y

6: Apply a radical rule, resulting in -\sqrt[3]{\frac{27t}{8} } =y

7: Apply another radical rule, resulting in -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{\sqrt[3]{8} } =y

8: Simplify the denominator, resulting in  -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{2} =y

9: Apply yet another radical rule, resulting in -\frac{\sqrt[3]{27}\sqrt[3]{t}   }{2} =y

10: Simplify \sqrt[3]{27}, resulting in -\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t}   }{2} =y
