a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Answer:
17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.
Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.
Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,




c > 16.64
Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.
I think eight because if you add those days together they will play again in eight days so that they play on the same day.
Sorry if I got it wrong I tried and that's what counts, right?
Given:

Find the method .
Sol:

2eq(1) + eq(2) then,

Then apply the elimination method.
