Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{9}  =  \frac{5}{y}   = \frac{x}{12}  \\  \frac{3}{9}  =  \frac{5}{y}  \\ 3y = 45 \\ y = 15 \\  \\  \frac{3}{9}  =  \frac{x}{12}  \\ 9x = 36 \\ x = 4

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH QUESTION 3. PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK
oee [108]
Let 
x = number of liters of the 40% salt solution 
y = number of liters of the 20% salt solution 

The two amounts (x and y) must combine to 1500 liters, so 
x+y = 1500
we can solve for y to get
y = 1500-x
after subtracting x from both sides

---------------------------------------------------

If we have x liters of the 40% salt solution (composed of pure salt plus other stuff) then we have exactly 0.40*x liters of pure salt. Simply multiply the decimal form of the percentage with the amount of solution. 

Similarly, if we have y liters of the 20% solution, then we have 0.20*y liters of pure salt

Combined, we have 0.40*x + 0.20*y liters of pure salt all together. 

We want 1500 liters of a 28% solution, so we want 1500*0.28 = 420 liters of pure salt

Equate the two expressions (0.40*x + 0.20*y and 420) to get
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420

---------------------------------------------------

We have the equation 0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420 and we also know that y = 1500-x

Let's use the substitution property now

0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( y ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420 ... note how y is replaced with 1500-x

Now we can solve for x
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*(1500) + 0.20*(-x) = 420
0.40*x + 300 - 0.20x = 420
0.40*x - 0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 - 300 = 420 - 300
0.20x = 120
0.20x/0.20 = 120/0.20
x = 600

Now that we know x, use this to find y
y = 1500-x
y = 1500-600 ... plug in x = 600 (ie replace x with 600)
y = 900
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

Answers:

We need 600 liters of the 40% solution
We need 900 liters of the 20% solution

Which of the following equations have infinitely many solutions?
olga55 [171]

The  following equations have infinitely many solutions:

6(2x + 4) = 3(4x + 8) ⇒ I

0.5(8x + 4) = 4x + 2 ⇒ II

2(6x + 4) = 4(3x + 2) ⇒ V

The answer is l, ll, and V ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has infinitely many solutions if:

  • The variable is disappeared
  • Then the numerical terms are equal

I.

∵ 6(2x + 4) = 3(4x + 8)

- Simplify the two sides

∵ 6(2x + 4) = 6(2x) + 6(4) = 12x + 24

∵ 3(4x + 8) = 3(4x) + 3(8) = 12x + 24

∴ 12x + 24 = 12x + 24

- Subtract 12x from both sides

∴ 24 = 24

- The variable disappear and two sides are equal

∴ The equation has infinitely many solutions

II.

∵ 0.5(8x + 4) = 4x + 2

- Simplify the left hand side

∵ 0.5(8x + 4) = 0.5(8x) + 0.5(4) = 4x + 2

∵ The right hand side is 4x + 2

∴ 4x + 2 = 4x + 2

- Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ 2 = 2

- The variable disappear and two sides are equal

∴ The equation has infinitely many solutions

III.

∵ 7x + 8 = 7(x + 8)

- Simplify the right hand side

∵ 7(x + 8) = 7(x) + 7(8) = 7x + 56

∴ 7x + 8 = 7x + 56

- Subtract 7x from both sides

∴ 8 = 56 ⇒ it can not be

∴ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

∴ The equation has no solution

IV.

∵ 3x + 4 = 7x - 2

- Subtract 3x from both sides

∴ 4 = 4x - 2

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ 6 = 4x

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ 1.5 = x

∴ The equation has one solution

V.

∵ 2(6x + 4) = 4(3x + 2)

- Simplify the both sides

∵ 2(6x + 4) = 2(6x) + 2(4) = 12x + 8

∵ 4(3x + 2) = 4(3x) + 4(2) = 12x + 8

∴ 12x + 8 = 12x + 8

- Subtract 12x from both sides

∴ 8 = 8

- The variable disappear and two sides are equal

∴ The equation has infinitely many solutions

The  following equations have infinitely many solutions:

6(2x + 4) = 3(4x + 8) ⇒ I

0.5(8x + 4) = 4x + 2 ⇒ II

2(6x + 4) = 4(3x + 2) ⇒ V
