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

George is drawing the outside lines on a soccer field that is 96 feet by 120 feet. What is the total length of the line he will
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

432 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of line he will draw is equivalent to the perimeter of the plane shape he is drawing. Given that it is a soccer field measured as 96 feet by 120 feet, the shape is a rectangle.

The perimeter p of a rectangle whose length is l and width is b is given as

p = 2(l+b)

Hence the length of the line he must draw

= 2(96 + 120)

= 2 * 216

= 432 feet

How do I solve for this equation 8(2x+9)=56
Step2247 [10]

Answer:x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 8 • (2x + 9) -  56  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  16x + 16  =   16 • (x + 1)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 16 • (x + 1)  = 0

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    16   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    x+1 = 0

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :

                     x = -1

One solution was found :

                  x = -1
