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

The answer would be 1952 because the display of flag makes a right triangle so we will use Pythagorean theorem in order to find the sides and the sides total is 244 according to theorem, so we multiply by 8 to get the 8 flag display.  <span />

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam saved 40

her bro saves 100

let us take this as ration 40 is to 100 which can also be written in fractional for like 40/100 now we simplify it how by dividing both by 20 so (40/20)/(100/20) which will give 2/5 which can be written as 2 is to 5 so this is true

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

B: a = 1, b= 7, c = -2

Explanation:

\sf Quadratic \ Equation : \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

Knowing This:

<u>solve for b</u>

  • -b = -7
  • b = 7

<u>solve for a</u>:

  • 2a = 2
  • a = 1

<u>solve c</u>:

  • b² - 4ac = 57
  • 7² - 4(1)(c) = 57
  • -4c = 57 - 49
  • -4c = 8
  • c = 8/-4 = -2
