Step-by-step explanation:

If x = the amount of 12% and y = the amount of 20%, then x + y = 80

Since we need 80 grams of 15%, 80(.15) = 12.

We are given that .12x + .20y = 12.

We can solve the first equation for x or y. Let's do x.

x = 80 - y

.12(80 - y) + .20y = 12

9.6 - .12y + .20y = 12

.08y = 2.4

y = 30

x = 80 - 30 = 50

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The length on the blueprint for an actual length of 65 feet is 16\frac{1}{4}\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale of the blueprint is \frac{1}{4}\ in=1\ foot

Length of one side of the house is 65 feet.

Now, as per given data;

1 foot in actual = \frac{1}{4}\ in on the blueprint.

Therefore, using unitary method, we can find find the length on the blueprint for an actual length of 65 feet by multiplying 65 and \frac{1}{4}. Therefore,

Length on the blueprint for 65 feet is given as:

=\frac{1}{4}\times 65\\\\=\frac{65}{4}\\\\=16\frac{1}{4}\ inches

Therefore, the length on the blueprint for an actual length of 65 feet is 16\frac{1}{4}\ inches

Solve the following quadratic function
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

x = ± 10

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve the equation let y = 0 , that is

100 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )

100 = x² ( take square root of both sides )

± \sqrt{100} = x , that is

x = ± 10
