A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit

er of a 3.5% salt water solution. He defines x as the amount of 2% solution and writes this equation:
0.2x + 0.7(x – 1) = 0.35(1)
He solves the equation and determines that x is about 1.17 liters. He interprets this as needing 1.17 liters of 2% solution to make 1 liter of 3.5% solution.

What errors did the student make? Check all that apply.

The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation.
The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.
The equation as written is solved incorrectly. x ≠ 1.17.
x must represent the amount of the more highly concentrated solution.
The interpretation is incorrect. 1 liter of 2% solution is needed to make 1.17 liters of 3.5% solution.

Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is 15 more than 10 times the smaller angle. FInd the measure of each angle.
garik1379 [7]

\text{Larger angle} =x\\\\\text{Smaller angle} =y\\ \\\text{According to the condition,}\\\\x=10y+15\\\\\text{The two angles are supplementary, so their  sum is}~ 180^{\circ} \\\\x+y=180\\\\\implies 10y+15 +y = 180\\\\\implies 11y = 180-15\\\\\implies 11y=165\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{165}{11}\\\\\implies y = 15\\\\\text{So,} ~x  =180-15 = 165\\\\\text{Hence the larger angle is}~ 165^{\circ}~ \text{and the smaller angle is }15^{\circ}

Which of the following expressions represents the GCF of 91x 2 y and 104xy 3?
zlopas [31]
The greatest common factor is found by finding the product of common primes.

91=7*13, 104=2*2*2*13  so the gcf of 91 and 104 is 13.  Since the highest power of x and y in both terms is 1, the hcf for the variables is just xy

13xy

The area of the trapezium is four times the area of the parallelogram. Work out the value of x
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium = 4 * area of parallelogram

1/2(a+b)*h=4* bh

1/2(5+11)*4= 4* 3.2x

8*4=4*3.2x

8/3.2=x

2.5cm=x
