Mathematics

Answer:

y = -1/5 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the point (1,2) for the x and the y in the equation, set the 4 to b since we are solving for b.

2 = -5(1) + b  now solve for b

2 = -5 + b

+5   +5

7 = b

we know that the slope must be the reciprocal for it to be perpendicular

y = -1/5 + 7 add b (7) to the equation and change the reciprocal

How much of a 60% acid solution must be mixed with 50 gallons of a 24% acid solution to obtain a solution that is 50% acid?
tiny-mole [99]
My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution) 
in simple terms:    %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x)            simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x                  get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13    divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
