Answer:

The scientist must use 10 ounces of Solution A and 40 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B, each containing salt, and she knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 90% salt, and she wants to obtain 50 ounces of a mixture that is 80% salt, to determine how many ounces of each solution should she use the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 0.9 + 0 x 0.4 = 90

90 x 0.9 + 10 x 0.4 = 85

80 x 0.9 + 20 x 0.4 = 80

50 x 0.8 = 40

Therefore, the scientist must use 10 ounces of Solution A and 40 ounces of Solution B.

The length of the sides of a triangle are 2x +y/2, 5x/3+y + ½ and 2/3x +2y +5/2. If the triangle is equilateral, find its perime
Sav [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral :

2x +y/2 =  5x/3+y + ½  = 2/3x +2y +5/2

so the perimeter is : P = 3(2x +y/2) or 3(5x/3+y + ½) or 3(2/3x +2y +5/2)

the simplest is :  P = 3(2x +y/2)

                            P = 6x + (3y)/2

Jacob walks 1.5 miles north. He turns and walks 0.8 miles west. How far is he from his starting point?
Flura [38]

Answer:

1.7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jacob walks 1.5 miles north.

He turns and walks 0.8 miles west.

We need to find how far is he from his starting point. Let he is at a distance of x miles from the starting point. It can be calculated as follows :

x=\sqrt{1.5^2+0.8^2} \\\\x=1.7\ \text{miles}

Hence, he is 1.7 miles from his starting point.

-8=-(x+4) i need help with this problem!!
kozerog [31]

X=4

You have to distribute the negative sign for everything in the parentheses. After that you add x to the other side then add 8 to the opposite side to move them. Then your answer is 4.
