Complete question is;

The levels of mercury in two different bodies of water are rising. In one body of water the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) and is rising at a rate of 0.1 ppb each year. In the second body of water the initial measure is 0.12 ppb and the rate of increase is 0.06 ppb each year.

Which equation can be used to find y, the year in which both bodies of water have the same amount of mercury?

A) 0.05 – 0.1y = 0.12 – 0.06y

B) 0.05y + 0.1 = 0.12y + 0.06

C) 0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

D) 0.05y – 0.1 = 0.12y – 0.06

Answer:

Option C: 0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first body, the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) while it's rising at a rate of 0.1 ppb each year. We are told to use y for the number of years.

Thus, amount of mercury for y years in this first body is;

A1 = 0.05 + 0.1y

Now, for the second body, we are told that;the initial measure is 0.12 ppb and the rate of increase is 0.06 ppb each year.

Thus, amount of mercury for y years in this second body is;

A2 = 0.12 + 0.06y

Since we want to find the year in which both bodies of water have the same amount of mercury. Thus, it means;

A1 = A2

Thus;

0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Use the discriminant to find the number of real solutions of the equation 3x^2 – 5x + 4 = 0
Virty [35]
To use the discriminant, first identify a, b, and c. In your equation a= 3 b = -5 and c = 4. Now plug into the discriminant b^2 - 4ac. Substituting yields (-5)^2 - 4(3)(4). Simplifying, 25 - 48 = -23. Since the discriminant has a negative value, there is no real solution to this equation.

A bag contains white matarles and red marables,126 in total.The number of whit marables is 6 more than 5 than 5 times the number
denis-greek [22]

Answer:106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of white marbles be w

Let number of red marbles be r

w+r = 126---------1

w = 6 +5r-----------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

6+ 5r + r = 126

6 + 6r = 126

6r = 120

r = 20

w = 6 +5r =6+100

= 106

Is Circumference of a circle same as area?​

The circumference of a circle is not the same as the area of the circle because the circumference represents the distance around the circle while the area represents the amount of space within the circle. Hope this helps.
