Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pencils that Jackson has be represented by x.

Since 20% of his pencils are broken which equals 4. This can be written and represented in an equation as:

20% of x = 4

20/100 × x = 4

0.2x = 4

x = 4/0.2

x = 20

There are a total of 20 pencils

Find the x and y intercept for -2x-5y=30
Ahat [919]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-5y=30

To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x

-2x-5*0=30

-2x = 30

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 30/-2

x =-15

To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y

-2*0-5y=30

-5y = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = 30/-5

y = -6

A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains
ehidna [41]
Let t, f, and s be the amount of 25%, 40%, and 60% solutions used.

We are told s=3f.  The general equation is:

100(0.25t+0.4f+0.6s)/(t+s+f)=45, and using s=3f  we have:

(0.25t+0.4f+1.8f)/(t+4f)=0.45

(0.25t+2.2f)/(t+4f)=0.45

0.25t+2.2f=0.45t+1.8f  

0.25t+0.4f=0.45t

0.4f=0.2t

t=2f, remembering that s=3f, will allow us to solve for f

t+s+f=60, using t and s from above

2f+3f+f=60

6f=60

f=10 L then

s=3f=30 L  and t=2f=20L

So 20L of 25%, 10L of 40%, and 30L of 60% acid solutions need to be mixed to make 60L of 45% acid solution.
