The new mixture has a total volume of 5 L + 9 L = 14 L.

70% of the 5 L alcohol solution is alcohol, so that it contributed 3.5 L of alcohol to the mixture. The pure water contributed no alcohol. So in the mixture, the concentration of alcohol is

3.5 L / 14 L = 0.25, or 25%

If c(x)= 5/x-2 and d(x) = x + 3, what is the domain of (cd)(x)?

Nataly [62]

$(fg)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)\\\\\text{We have}\ c(x)=\dfrac{5}{x-2}\ \text{and}\ d(x)=x+3.\ \text{Substitute}\\\\(cd)(x)=\dfrac{5}{x-2}\cdot(x+3)=\dfrac{5(x+3)}{x-2}\\\\\text{Domain:}\\\\\text{The denominator must be different than zero. Therefore}\\\\x-2\neq0\to x\neq2\\\\Answer:\ \text{Domain is the set of all real numbers except 2}\to D=\mathbb{R}-\{2\}$

Solve the system of equations algebraically.<br> 4x - 3y = 6<br> 6x - 5y = 6

muminat

Answer: x=6 y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle\\\left \{ {{4x-3y=6} \atop {6x-5y=6}} \right.\\$

Since the right parts of the equation are equal, therefore the left parts of the equation are also equal:

$4x-3y=6x-5y\\4x-3y+5y=6x-5y+5y\\4x+2y=6x\\4x+2y-4x=6x-4x\\2y=2x\\$

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

$y=x\\Hence,\\4x-3x=6\\x=6\\Thus,\\x=y=6$

How do I solve the literal equation 6=mx+b for x? Did not learn this in school as I was absent for two weeks.

NeX [460]

6= mx+b
6-b=mx
x=(6-b)/m
