Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.

Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30

Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

We have a system of equations:

x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.

-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
   0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x              = -3

x = 20

Answer: 20 liters

What is the sum of the interior angles, each interior angle, the central angle, and each exterior angle of a pentagon, a hexagon
WITCHER [35]
<span>Sum of Interior Angles: Formula: (n-2) * 180
-Pentagon: 540</span>°<span>
-Hexagon: 720</span>°<span>
-Octagon: 900</span>°<span>
-Nonagon: 1260</span>°<span>
-Decagon: 1440</span>°<span>
-Dodecagon: 1800</span>°

Each interior Angle: Formula: [(n-2)*180] / n
-Pentagon: 108°
-Hexagon: 120°
-Octagon: 135°
-Nonagon: 140°
-Decagon: 144°
-Dodecagon: 150°

The sum of the exterior angles of each polygon stated above is equal to 360 degrees. Using the formula: (180-interior angle) * n

The central angle is formed by making a circle in the middle and divide it by the number of sides. Therefore, CA = 360 /n
-Pentagon: 72°
-Hexagon: 60°
-Octagon: 45°
-Nonagon: 40°
-Decagon: 36°
-Dodecagon: 30°

PLEASE HELP URGENT
stepladder [879]

Answer:r*s = 168

Step-by-step explanation: (2x-1)(6x) = 12 x^2 - 6x

r(s(x)) = 2 (6x) - 1 = 12 x - 1

r(x) - s(x) = (2x-1) - 6x = -4x -1

r(x) = s(x) when 2x-1 = 6x or x = -1/4

r(4) = s(4) never

(r*s)(4) = 12 x^2 - 6 x = 12*16 - 24 =168

Which expressions are equivalent to -6(b + 2) + 8?
Rudik [331]

Answer: -6b - 12 + 8

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify/find an equivalent expression to -6(b + 2) + 8, we just need to get rid of the parentheses. This can be done by multplying -6 by everything insde the parentheses.

-6 × b = -6b

-6 × 2 = -12

Now, we add our answers together. Don't forget to add the 8 to the end!

-6b + -12 + 8

-6b - 12 + 8

Hope this was helpful! Let me eknow if you have any further questions. :)
