the first solution is 20% acid, and say we'll be using "x" liters, so how many liters of just acid are in it?  well 20% of "x" or namely 0.2x.  Likewise for the 60% acid solution, if we had "y" liters of it, the amount of only acid in it is 0.6y.

\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{liters of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{1st solution}&x&0.20&0.2x\\ \textit{2nd solution}&y&0.60&0.6y\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&100&0.44&44 \end{array}~\hfill \begin{cases} x+y=100\\\\ 0.2x+0.6y=44 \end{cases}

x+y=100\implies y=100-x~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{0.2x+0.6(100-x)=44} \\\\\\ 0.2x+60-0.6x=44\implies -0.4x+60=44\implies -0.4x=-16 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{-16}{-0.4}\implies \boxed{x=40}~\hfill \boxed{\stackrel{100-40}{y=60}}

Solve -7x^2+x+9=-6x quadratic formula
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

-7x^2+x+9=-6x

-7x^2+x+9+6x=-6x+6x

-7x^2+7x+9=0

quadratic\: formula

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4\left(-7\right)\cdot \:9}}{2\left(-7\right)}

\sqrt{-7^{2} -4(-7)\times9} =\sqrt{301}

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-7\pm \sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

=\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{-2\cdot \:7}

=\frac{-7+\sqrt{301}}{-14}

\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{2\left(-7\right)}

=\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{-2\cdot \:7}

=\frac{-7-\sqrt{301}}{-14}

answer=\frac{7+\sqrt{301}}{14}

It is 14% as you add up all of the numbers and divide 10 by that number and finally multiply by 100 for a percent

To approximate the P(x<27) we need to find the z-score of the data, this will be given by:
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
μ-mean
σ-standard deviation
x=27, μ=32, σ=4
z=(27-32)/4
z=-5/4
z=-1.25
thus
P(x<27)=P(z<-1.25)
=0.1056
=10.56%

Answer: 10.56%
