Answer:
the fist one is equal to 20
If you reduce them by 12 you'll get

If that's what you're asking
Answer:
use -4y for x in the second equation
-4 y + 5 y = 2
so
y = 2
then x = -4(2) = -8
(-8 , 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
A.53 =53
B.3^5/3^-6 =177147
C.(1/4)^3 • (1/4)^2 = 1
/1024
D.(-7)^5/(-7)^7 = 1/49
I tried my best for part 2 but i'm pretty sure it's not right. I think 1/1024 and 1/49 has a value between 0 and 1
<span>let x = the number of liters of the 20% solution.
let y = the number of liters of the 60% solution.
you want x + y to be equal to 40 liters.
x is the number of liters total in the first solution.
y is the number of liters total in the second solution.
you want .2 * x + .6 * y to be equal to .35 * 40
.2 * x is the number of liters of acid in the first solution.
.6 * y is the number of liters of acid in the second solution.
.35 * 40 is the number of liters of acid in the final solution.
you have two equations that need to be solved simultaneously.
they are:
x + y = 40
.2x + .6y = .35*40
simplify these equations to get:
x + y = 40
.2x + .6y = 14
you can solve by substitution or by elimination or by graphing.
i will solve this one by graphing.
this means to graph both equations and find the intersection.
the graph looks like this:
the graph says the intersection is at the coordinate point of (25,15).
this means that x = 25 and y = 15.
x is the number of liters of the 20% solution.
y is the number of liters of the 60% solution.
the formula of .2x + .6y = 14 becomes .2 * 25 + .6 * 15 = 14.
simplify this equation to get 14 = 14.
this confirms the solution is good.
