X= - 7/2
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
150 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a mixture that is at 50%, now we have 200 mL at 35% and another mixture that is at 70%, that is, we must calculate how much of this mixture is added, by the following equation
200 * 35% + x * 70% = 50% (x + 200)
70 + 0.7 * x = 0.5 * x + 100
0.7 * x - 0.5 * x = 100 - 70
0.2 * x = 30
x = 30 / 0.2
x = 150
150 mL must be added so that the mixture is 50%.
Questions like this ("how much higher is x than y?") are answered by computing the ratio of the two quantities.
In fact, for example, the answer to "how much higher is 10 than 5?" is 2, because 10:5 = 2, and indeed 10 is twice as much as 5.
So, we have

So, the melting temperature of platinum is about one time and a half higher than the melting temperature of gold.
Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 
The denominator cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be, that is
(x + 5)(x + 11) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11
Thus
x = - 11 and x = - 5 are excluded values.
