440 gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifreeze
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the gallons of 80 % antifreeze added
Therefore, "x" gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze
Final mixture is x + 80
Therefore, we can frame a equation as:
"x" gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get (x + 80) gallons of 70 % antifreeze
Thus, we get,
x gallons of 80 % + 80 gallons of 15 % = (x + 80) gallons of 70 %
Thus 440 gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed as follows;
In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.
Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.
Thus, we have;
2a(b-3) + 5b + _
Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;
2a(b-3) + 5b-15
2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)
So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)
Hence the constant used is -15

Answer:
The value of g(f(1)) is 84/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to a composite function, start with the function on the inside, which is f(1). So, we input 1 into the f(x) equation and evaluate.
f(x) = 6x + 2
f(1) = 6(1) + 2
f(1) = 6 + 2
f(1) = 8
Now that we have the answer of 8, we can input that in for x in the outside function, which is g(x).
g(x) = 2x + 4/5
g(8) = 2(8) + 4/5
g(8) = 16 + 4/5
g(8) = 84/5
