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.

Find the 11th partial sum of the summation of negative 7i plus 22, from i equals 1 to infinity.
Alinara [238K]
The answer is -220 
What you do is take -7 and multiply that by (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) and then after that add 11 again and multiply it by 22. It would look like this. 

-7 x (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) +11 x 22

Simplify that to -7 x 66 +11 x 22

now multiply -7 and 66 to get -462 

-462 +11 x 22 

multiply 11 and 22 

-462 + 242 

and your final answer will be -220
