Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = the amount of 5% solution and y = the amount of pure alcohol, we can set up that

.05x+y is the amount of alcohol in our resulting mixture, and x+y is the total amount in our resulting mixture (which we know is 380)

so we also know that:

(.05x+y)/380 = .6

If we simplify this we come up with:

.05x+y=228

and we know x+y=380

If we solve this as a system of equations, we will find that:

x=160 ml

y=220 ml

Of the 58 employees in a firm, 8 are considered support staff, and 7 of the employees have more than five years of experience. A
polet [3.4K]

Using statistical concepts, it is found that the number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.

<h3>What is the union of events J and K?</h3>

It means that at least one of event J or event K is true, hence, it is composed by employees that are either considered support staff(less than 5 years of experience) or employees that have more than five years of experience, combining a total of 7 + 8 = 15 employees.

<h3>What is the complement?</h3>

The total number of outcomes of the union of J and K, plus the complement, add to the total number of 58, hence:

15 + x = 58

x = 43.

The number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.

Marina86 [1]
For this case we have the following system of equations:
 -4x + 5y = 8
 6x - y = 11
 The solution is the ordered pair where both functions intersect. 
 In this case, the point of intersection is:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
 Answer:
 (x, y) = (5/2, 7/2)
