so the 5 gallons ones is 40% acid, how much acid solute is in it anyway? well just 40% of 5 or namely 0.4*5 = 2 gallons.

the 3 gallons one is 50%, likewise it has 0.50 * 3 = 1.5 gallons of acid solute in it.

\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{1st mixture}&5&0.4&\stackrel{(5)(0.4)}{2}\\ \textit{2nd mixture}&3&0.5&\stackrel{(3)(0.5)}{1.5}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixed&8&p&3.5 \end{array} \\\\\\ 8p=3.5\implies p=\cfrac{3.5}{8}\implies p=0.4375\implies p=\stackrel{\%}{43.75}

Math help please! Thanks so much!

According do what i came up with. after 3 hours train (A) should be 150 miles out towards Smithville, while Train (B) will be 180 miles out towards Westtown. Its best to graph this out to better understand. so 330/2 = 165, so thats your half way point. use this to determine how far train (A) is from SV compared to train (B)s distance to WT. After 3 hours you can see at 180 miles out Train (B) will be crossing paths with Train (A) at 150 miles. So the answer would be 3 hours

What are the two solutions of 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve 2x^2 = -X^2 - 5x - 1.  Consolidate all terms on the left side and write 0 on the right side:

3x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation.  Let's solve it for x using the quadratic formula:

a = 3, b = 5, c = 1, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4(3)(1) = 13.  Because the discriminant is positive, we know that there are two distinct, real roots; the graphs of y = 2x^2 and y = x^2 - 5x - 1 intersect in two places whose x-coordinates are the real roots mentioned above.

Answer A is not correct as stated, but would be correct if we were to replace "the y-coordinates" with "the x-coordinates."  

Answer C would be correct if and only if we write y = x^2 - 5x - 1.
