Answer:

21 liters of the 12% solution and 4 liters of the 37% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of liters of the first solution as x and the second as y. Now, the total liters of iodine is going to be 16% of 25 = 4 liters of iodine, and the total liters of each solution is going to be 25. Now, we can setup two equations:

0.12x+0.37y = 4

x + y = 25

Multiplying the bottom equation by 0.12, we have

0.12x + 0.12y = 3

Subtracting, we have

0.12x+0.37y=4

-

0.12x + 0.12y = 3

= 0.25y = 1

= y = 4

= x = 25 - 4 = 21

Please help me with this problem!
mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows lines passing through the points of two equations.

We will determine the points through which the lines pass through on the graphs.

Looking at the line on the right hand side of the graph, the slope is

(y2-y1)/x(2-x1) where

y2= 0, y1 = 4

x2 = 3, x1=0

Slope, m = (0-4)/3-0

Slope = -4/3

Recall the equation of a straight line is y = mx + c

Where c is the intercept.

So the equation is y

y = -4x/3 + 4

Looking at the line on the left hand side of the graph, the slope is

(y2-y1)/x(2-x1) where

y2= 0, y1 = 2

x2 = -1, x1 =0

Slope, m = (0-2)/-1-0

Slope = -2/-1 = 2

Applying equation of a straight line is y = mx + c

The equation

y = 2x + 2

So the equations are

-4x/3 + 4. If x lesser than or equal 0

2x + 2. If x greater than 0

I'm really confused, can you please help me
Anika [276]

Answer: y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DF is bisected, it means but in half. This means DU and UF are equal in length. We can set them equal to each other to find y.

2y=16          [divide both sides by 2]

y=8

Find the length of an arc of an 8" radius circle if the arc measures 45°.
kirza4 [7]
The area of  sector is calculated by the product of area of the circle and the sector angle. It is expressed as follows:

Area = πr² (α/360)
Area = π(8)²(45/360)
Area = 8π in²

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
