A punch contains 60% of grape juice and the rest is lemon - lime soda ( 2 liters).
Part A:
An equation is:
0.6 x + 2 = x,
where x stays for the liters of punch.
Part B:
x - 0.6 x = 2
0.4 x = 2
x = 2 : 0.4
x = 5 liters
Grape juice = 5 - 2 = 3 liters.
Answer: There are 3 liters of grape juice in the punch.

The product of two numbers is 240. The first number is 8 less than the second number. Write an equation can be used to find x

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The equation x = y-8

The equation (y-8) y = 240

The first number x = 12 and second number y =20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

<u>Step(l)</u>:-

Let 'x' be the first number and 'y' be the second number

Given the product of two numbers is 240

Given data x y = 240 …(l)

Given data the first number is 8 less than the second number.

x = y-8...(ll)

Substitute (ll) in equation (l) , we get

(y-8) y = 240

$y^{2} -8y -240 =0$

$y^{2} -20y+12y -240 =0$

$y(y -20)+12(y -20) =0$

$(y +12)(y -20) =0$

y = -12 and y = 20

Y= -12 is not satisfied

we can choose y = 20

<u>Step(ll):</u>-

Given data x =y-8

substitute value y = 20 in x = y -8

x = 20-8 = 12

<u>Final answer</u>:-

The first number x = 12 and second number y =20

I need help on these question ASAP!!!! This is Urgent

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

What is value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.

marin [14]

Answer:

$x \ = \ 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point $D$ be the point where the straight line drawn from point $A$ meets the straight line $BC$ , it is evident that $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$ is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, $\angle BAD \ = \ \angle DAC$ . Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,

$\displaystyle{\frac{x+4}{8} \ = \ \frac{2x+1}{12}}$ .

Performing cross multiplication yields

$12\left(x+4\right) \ = \ 8\left(2x+1\right) \\ \\ \rule{0.15cm}{0cm}12x+48 \ = \ 16x+8 \\ \\ \rule{1.1cm}{0cm} 4x \ = \ 40 \\ \\ \rule{1.3cm}{0cm} x \ = \ 10$ .
