A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is

65% salt and Solution B is 90% salt. She wants to obtain 130 ounces of a mixture that is 70% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

So let's call x the amount of ounces in Solution A
So then the equation would look something like this.
0.65(x) + 0.9(130-x) = 0.7(130)
To make it easier, multiply both sides by 100:
65(x) + 90(130-x) = 70(130)
multiply.
65x + 11700 - 90x = 9100
Make sure that x is on one side and the numbers are on the other:
-25x = -2600
The negatives cancel out:
25x = 2600
Solve for x:
x = 104.
So then Solution A has 104 ounces, and Solution B has 130 - 104 ounces, which is 26 ounces.

The ratio of Mike buying fish to Millie buying fish was 8 to 2. If in total they bought 150 pounds of fish. How many pounds did
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 8 to 2 then  8/10 will be the probability of Mike buying fist and 2/10 will be the probability of Millie buying fish.

Now multiply each fraction by the total number of pounds to find how many pounds each bought.

8/10 * 150 = 1200/10 = 120

2/10 * 150 = 300/10 = 30  

In this case, Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

What is the end behavior of the graph of the polynomial function f(x) = –x5 + 9x4 – 18x3?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

As x approaches ∞, y approaches -∞

As x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x^5 + 9x^4 - 18x^3

F(x) is a fifth degree (odd function ) with negative leading coefficient

If exponent is odd and leading coefficient is negative then end behavior is

As x approaches ∞, y approaches -∞

As you go on the right , f(x) goes down

As x approaches -∞, y approaches ∞

As you go on the left , f(x) goes up
