The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:

x: the total mass of the chemical in the container

y: a sample of a chemical from a container

We have the following equation:

y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Then, for y = 39.1 we have:

39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Clearing x:

(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4

(3/10) x = 44.85

x = (10/3) * (44.85)

x = 149.5 grams

Answer:

the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:

x = 149.5 grams.

ANSWER:

D. - 1 / 2

This is as 104 ÷ - 52 = - 1 / 2

As well as this, - 52 ÷ 26 = - 1 / 2

And this ratio applies for the other numbers in the sequence as well.

Therefore, the answer must be - 1 / 2.

Solve by factoring m^2+8m+7=0
Alenkinab [10]
We can use completing the square.We add 16 and subtract 7 to both sides. Now we get m^2+8m+16=9. The left sides becomes (m+4)^2=9. Taking the square root of both sides and subtracting 4 we get -1 and -7.
