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

A survey showed that 30% of students bring their lunch to school. The survey polled 300 students. How many of the 300 students d
Karolina [17]

Let's first find how many students bring their lunch to school. This is 30% of 300. To find this value, convert the percentage to a fraction (or decimal) and multiply:

30\% \,\, \textrm{of} \,\,300 = \dfrac{3}{10} \cdot 300 = \dfrac{900}{10} = 90


Since 90 students bring their lunch to school, we can say 210 students do not bring their lunch to school. (300 - 90 = 210)

Find a and b if the point p(6,0) and Q(3,2) lie on the graph of ax+ by=12
tiny-mole [99]

to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12
