A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 30% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 75% pure anti

freeze. In order to obtain 30 gallons of a mixture that contains 60% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

Answer:

Let x = amount of 45% antifreeze

Let y = amount of 70% antifreeze

 

    EQUATION 1:   x + y = 150    (total of 150 gallons mixed)

 

    EQUATION 2:  .45x + .75y = .55(x + y)

 

Simplify and solve the system of equations

 

    Multiply second equation by 100 on both sides to remove the decimals

 

          45x + 75y = 55(x + y)

 

    Combine like terms

 

          45x + 75y = 55x + 55y

 

          45x - 55x + 75y - 55y = 0

   

          -10x + 20y = 0

 

      Now we have the following system of equations:

 

             x  +    y = 150

        -10x + 20y =     0

 

    Multiply the first equation by -10 to get opposite coefficients for x;  add the equations to eliminate x

 

          10x + 10y = 1500

         -10x + 20y =       0

        ------------------------------

                    30y = 1500

 

     Solve for y

 

           30y = 1500

 

               y = 50

 

     Since the total mixed gallons is 150, x = 150 - 50 = 100

 

So we need 100 gallons of the 45% antifreeze and 50 gallons of the 70% antifreeze

there are 27 red or blue marbles in the bag the number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of the blue marbl
alexdok [17]
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19
blue=8

Consider the logarithms base 5. For each logarithmic expression below, either calculate the value of the expression or explain w
Tom [10]

Answer:

log₅(3125) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₅(3125)

Now,

using the property of log function that

logₐ(b) = \frac{\log(b)}{\log(a)}

thus,

Therefore, applying the above property, we get

⇒ \frac{\log(3125)}{\log(5)}   (here log = log base 10)

now,

3125 = 5⁵

thus,

⇒  \frac{\log(5^5)}{\log(5)}

Now,

we know from the properties of log function that

log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)

therefore applying the above property we get

⇒ \frac{5\log(5)}{\log(5)}

or

⇒ 5

Hence,

log₅(3125) = 5

50 points!<br><br> What is the value of x?<br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x =
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

x = 3

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a 45°, 45°, 90° triangle. The longest side ( 6\sqrt{2} ) can be x\sqrt{2} while AB and CB are x. Because 6\sqrt{2} is equal to x\sqrt{2}, you can see that x is equal to 6. Both AB and CB are equal to 6. ΔBDC ( CDB ) is a right triangle ( 30°, 60°, 90° ) so, BD = x, CB = 2x, and CD = x\sqrt{3}. CB is equal to 6 so 2x = 6, x = 3.
