Answer:

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 25 % acid solution

y = 45% acid solution

x + y = 600

.25x + .45y = .30(600)

x + y = 600 (1)

.25x + .45y = 180 (2)

From (1)

x = 600 - y

Substitute x = 600 - y into (2)

.25x + .45y = 180

.25(600 - y) + .45y = 180

150 - .25y + .45y = 180

150 + .20y = 180

.20y = 180 - 150

.20y = 30

Divide both sides by .20

y = 30/0.20

= 150

y = 150ml

Substitute y = 150 into

x + y = 600

x + 150 = 600

x = 600 - 150

= 450

x = 450ml

25 % acid solution = 450ml

45% acid solution = 150ml

Given g(x) = -x + 5, solve for x when g(x) = 3.
Elan Coil [88]
Both equal g(x) so put them together

-x+5=3 then solve for x

-x=3-5
-x=-2
-2 divided by -x =2

x=2

A dress listed from $119 is discounted 25%. What is the sale price of the dress including a 7 1/2 state sales tax?
Daniel [21]
If it is discounted 25%, then u r actually paying 75%

0.75(119) = 89.25 (without tax)

sales tax = 7 1/2% = 7.5% = 0.075
89.25(1.075) = $ 95.94 <===

A rectangle has vertices E(-4, 8), F(2, 8), G(2, -2) and H(-4, -2). The rectangle is dilated with the origin as the center of di
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y).

Step-by-step explanation:

From Linear Algebra, we define the dilation of a point by means of the following definition:

G'(x,y) = O(x,y) +k\cdot [G(x,y)-O(x,y)] (1)

Where:

G(x,y) - Coordinates of the point G, dimensionless.

O(x,y) - Center of dilation, dimensionless.

k - Scale factor, dimensionless.

G'(x,y) - Coordinates of the point G', dimensionless.

If we know that O(x,y) = (0,0), G(x,y) =(2,-2) and G'(x,y) =(5,-5), then scale factor is:

(5,-5) = (0,0) +k\cdot [(2,-2)-(0,0)]

(5,-5) = (2\cdot k, -2\cdot k)

k = \frac{5}{2}

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is:

P'(x,y) = (0,0) + \frac{5}{2}\cdot [P(x,y)-(0,0)]

P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y) (2)

The dilation on any point of the rectangle is P'(x,y) = \frac{5}{2}\cdot P(x,y).
