Answer: 60 gallons of the 20% solution and 120 gallons of the 50% solution should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of gallons of 20% solution that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of gallons of 50% solution that should be mixed.
A 20% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 50% solution of fertilizer in order to get 180 gallons of a 40% solution. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 0.4×180
0.2x + 0.5y = 72- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Since the total number of gallons is 180, it means that
x + y = 180
Substituting x = 180 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.2(180 - y) + 0.5y = 72
36 - 0.2y + 0.5y = 72
- 0.2y + 0.5y = 72 - 36
0.3y = 36
y = 36/0.3
y = 120
x = 180 - y = 180 - 120
x = 60
9x^2 and 5x are not like terms because 9x is being squared and 5x isn't.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Choice B)
Explanation:
You mentioned there isn't a diagram to go with this, but I'm assuming that this problem is referring to a previous problem you posted. In that problem, it mentions that point W is at (1,-2). If we apply the scale factor 3, then we're tripling each coordinate. That means x = 1 becomes x = 3, and y = -2 becomes y = -6
We can write it like this:
(1,-2) ---> 3*(1, -2) = (3*1, 3*(-2) ) = (3, -6)
Only choice B has W'(3,-6) so this is likely the final answer.
If we apply this dilation to every point, then that effectively makes quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z' to be three times longer and taller than compared to quadrilateral WXYZ. In other words, its side lengths are 3 times longer.
The exponent on the P will be 5
