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.

Ryan works at at the donut shop where he makes $10.25 per hour . He also works part time at the school bookstore where he makes
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the number of hours worked at the donut shop

y----> the number of hours worked at the school bookstore

we know that

x+y=20

x=20-y -----> equation A

10.25x+8.75y=196 -----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

10.25(20-y)+8.75y=196

205-10.25y+8.75y=196

10.25y-8.75y=205-196

1.5y=9

y=6 hours at the school bookstore

Three machines operating independently, simultaneously, and at the same constant rate can fill a certain production order in 36
Andrews [41]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total production order be X. The combined rate is thus x/36 orders per hour.

Now, we know that the three machines are working at the same constant rate. This means that individual rate for each of the machines will be x/36 divided by 3 and that gives x/108 per machine.

Now, we are having another machine coming at the same constant rate. This means we are adding an x/108 rate to the preexisting x/36.

The new total rate thus becomes x/108 + x/36 = 4x/108

Now we know that the total new rate is 4x/108. Since the total work doesn’t change and it is still x, the time taken to complete a work of x orders at a rate of 4x/108 order per hour would be x divided by 4x/108 and this is x * 108/4x = 108/4 = 27 hours

C. Make n subject of the formula<br>S= n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]<br><br>please provide your working out ​
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

n=\frac{4as -2ds}{(1-2ds)}

Step-by-step explanation:

S= \frac{n}{2 [2a + (n - 1)d]}

Simplifying the fraction by multiplying d into the (n-1) term,

s=\frac{n}{2 [2a + (n - 1)d] } = \frac{n}{2[2a + dn - d] }

Simplifying the fraction by multiplying 2 throughout,

s= \frac{n}{4a + 2dn-2d}

Multiply (4a + 2dn-2d) on both sides

(4a + 2dn-2d)s= \frac{n}{4a + 2dn-2d} (4a + 2dn-2d)

Cancel the (4a + 2dn-2d) on the right hand side

(4a + 2dn-2d)s= n

Multiply s to the terms,

4as + 2dns-2ds= n

Move 2dns to the right hand side by subtracting 2dns on both sides4as + 2dns-2ds-2dns= n-2dns

4as -2ds= n-2dns

On the right hand side of the equation, take out n

4as -2ds= n(1-2ds)

Divide Left hand side by (1-2ds),

n=\frac{4as -2ds}{(1-2ds)}
