Answer:

  102 gallons of 55% antifreeze

  68 gallons of 80% antifreeze

Step-by-step explanation:

55% antifreeze:   x

80% antifreeze:   y

x + y = 170                        ===>  -.55(x + y = 170)   ===>   -.55x - .55y = -93.5

.55x + .80y = .65(170)      ===>                                          .55x + .80y = 110.5      

                                                                                         ________________

add the two equations to eliminate a variable:                        0.25y = 17

divide by 0.25 to isolate y:                                                               y = 68

substitution to find x:    

  x + y = 170

  x + 68 = 170

          x = 102

-8-3x=-8(1-7x) how many solutions will mark barilest
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-8-3x=-8(1-7x)

add 8 to both sides =( -3x=56x)

subtract 56x from both sides (-59x=0)

divide both sides by -59 = (x=0)

Which set of ordered pairs below is a function?
Paha777 [63]
The answer is A.

Ordered pairs that equate to a function would not have two separate points with the same x-value. In other words, every x-value must be associated with only one y-value.
