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

A train travels from Washington DC to new york(225 miles). The train departs at 4:55 PM and arrives in New York at 7:55 PM. What
mylen [45]

Answer:

The average speed is:

\var{v}=75\: miles/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed equation is given by:

\var{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Were:

  • Δx is the displacement (225 miles)
  • Δt is the change in time (3 hours)

Then we have:

\var{v}=\frac{225}{3}

\var{v}=75\: miles/h

I hope it helps you!

What is the next letter b a d e h g j k?
MArishka [77]
<span>The next letter is 'n'. The pattern misses a letter after a pair of letters, for example: 'a' and 'b' are a letter pair, then 'c' is skipped, then the letter pair 'd' and 'e' comes next. For every other letter pair, the order is reversed so they are not in alphabetical order. The next letter pair is 'm' and 'n', and because the pair 'j' and 'k' is in alphabetical order, this pair must be reversed. Therefore, the next letter is 'n'.</span>

Minchanka [31]
The slope would be 4.33. He sells 13 cars in 3 months, 13/3=4.33 cars each month. While you can't sell 4.33, remember that this is just the slope. The equation would be apprx y=4.33(x)
