Answer:

108 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

Equation 1: x + y = 180      

Equation2: y = 180 - x

.60x+.85y=.75(180)

.60x+.85y=135      

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x+85y=3500

60x+85(180 - x)=13500

60x+15300-85x=13500

-25x=-1800

x=72ounces

y=180-72

y=108 ounces

<u>Part A</u>

<u />\overline{AC} and \overline{BD}

<u>Part B</u>

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so

BE=ED \implies 2x+3=3y-4 \implies 3y=2x+7 \implies y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}\\\\AE=EC \implies y+4=4x-6 \implies y=4x-10

Solving by substitution,

\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}=4x-10

Multiplying both sides by 3,

2x+7=12x-30\\\\37=10x\\\\x=3.7

So, y=\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{37}{10} \right)+\frac{7}{3}=\frac{24}{5}

<u>Part C</u>

<u />BE=ED=2(3.7)+3=10.4\\\\AE=EC=4(3.7)-6=8.8

\therefore BD=2(10.4)=20.8, AC=2(8.8)=17.6

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=1/2x+7 and passes through the point (6,2)
aev [14]
<span>y=1/2x+7, slope is 1/2
</span><span>perpendicular so slope is opposite and reciprocal
</span>slope = -2
<span>passes through the point (6,2)
</span>y - 2 = -2(x - 6)
y - 2 = -2x + 12
y = -2x + 14

answer
equation y = -2x + 14

Hurry: Only 5 mins to answer! When Prachisha checked out they charged her sales tax of 7.25%. How much did she pay for the items
ella [17]

Explanation:

140 x 7.25% = 10.15

140 x 35% = 49

Then we add the tax and subtract the sale :

140 + 10.15 - 49 = 101.15$

Answer:

B. Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

First it is reflected on the x-axis because it is above and below. if its was the y-axis (which it is not) it would be side to side, if that makes sense.

Secondly the x values are the same, they are both -6. So, the y values are the ones that are different.
