THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

2x + 2 y = -2
3x - 2y = 12
Answer:
x=2 and y=-6 aka. (2,-6) which is the point of intersection
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination to cancel out y by adding the equations:
5x=10
x=2
Plug x=2 into one of the equations and find y:
2(5)+2y=-2
10+2y=-2
2y=-12
y=-6
Therefore, x=2 and y=-6
Which of the following is an open statement?
A. 20 is an even number
B. 21 is positive number
C. x is an even number
D. 21 is an even number
Answer:
C. x is an even number
Step-by-step explanation:
The open statement is x is an even number. The correct option is C.
What is an open statement?A statement (as in mathematics) that contains at least one blank or unknown and that becomes true or false when the blank or unknown is filled in or a quantity is substituted for the unknown. The sentences "n + 5 = 3" and "it is divisible by 6" are both open sentences.
here te open statement is given as x is an even number because the statement says that there is an unknown number which is even in nature. So there is a blank for the number the number can be anything from all the even numbers.

Verify & mention the below given property a*(+)=*+*of rational numbers by taking a= 1:3, b= 1:5 c= -2:3
To Prove :
a×(b+c) = a×b + a×c
Solution :
Solving L.H.S. we get :
[tex]a(b+c ) = \dfrac{1}{3}( \dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{2}{3})\\\\= -\dfrac{7}{45}[/tex]
Solving R.H.S. we get :
[tex]a\times b + a\times c = \dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{1}{3}\times (-\dfrac{2}{3})\\\\= -\dfrac{7}{45}[/tex]
Since, L.H.S = R.H.S
Therefore, the given equation is correct.

Two sprinters, Victor and Aaron, want to find out who has the faster time when compared to each of their teams. Victor has a time of 10.9 seconds, and his team has a mean time of 11.4 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.2 seconds. Aaron has a time of 10.6 seconds, and his team has a mean of 11.5 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.1 seconds. Who has the faster time when compared to each of their teams
Answer:
The answer is "-9".
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\mu = 11.4\\\\\sigma = 0.2\\\\ x = 10.9\\\\[/tex]
[tex]P(X <= 10.9)=?[/tex]
The z-value is determined using the central boundary theorem
[tex]z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(10.9 - 11.4)}{0.2}\\\\ = -2.5[/tex]
Calculating the value for Aaron
[tex]\mu = 11.5\\\\ \sigma = 0.1\\\\ x = 10.6\\\\ P(X <= 10.6)=?[/tex]
When the z-value is calculated using Central Limit Theorem
[tex]z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(10.6 - 11.5)}{0.1}\\\\ = -9[/tex]
Answer:
The times are equal when compared to each of their teams.

A farmer wants to divide his 2700 km2 of land into two separate pastures for his new horses by building a fence that will enclose both pastures. He wants one pasture to be twice the size as the other. What should the dimensions of the larger pasture be if he wants to use the least amount of fencing?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
just a guess, it seems like you are asked about only dimensions of the big one, isnt that just 2/3 of 2700 km2. that is 1800km2 which = 60 km x 20km.
Answer:
All kinds of questions since you don't describe the enclosures.

B. g(x) = 5x^2
c. g(x) = 25x²
D. g(x) = (5x)2
i’m need of help right now please please please
Answer:
B. y = 5x²
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, g(x) is a proper parabola, so it must be some variation of y = x².
Because the vertex of the parabola remains at (0, 0), know that there is no translation, so all we need to account for is the scale.
In the graph we can see that where x is equal to 1, y is equal to 5. On a normal parabola that would instead be (1, 1), so we know that the y axis is scaled by a factor of five. With that we can say that y = 5x².

SOCCER Alice kicks a soccer ball towards a wall. The ball is deflected off the wall at an angle of 40°,
and it travels 6 meters. How far is the soccer ball from the wall when it stops rolling?
Answer:
The ball is 3.86 meters from the wall when it stops rolling.
Step-by-step explanation:
Representation of the situation:
This situation can be represented by a right triangle:
The hypotenuse is the distance the ball traveled, of 6 meters.
The distance from the wall is the side opposite to the angle of 40º.
We have that:
Sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. So, in this situation.
Sine of 40 degrees = Distance from the wall/6
Sine of 40 degrees is of 0.64278760968.
Distance = 6*0.64278760968 = 3.86.
The ball is 3.86 meters from the wall when it stops rolling.
In 4/5 hours, Manuel reads 3/4 chapters. What is the unit rate in chapters per hour?
Manuel reads 3/4 chapter in 4/5 hours.
Rate = Chapter / Hours
Rate = (3/4) / ( 4/5)
Rate = 0.75 / 0.80
Rate = 0.9375
So, Manuel reads the chapter with rate 0.9375 chapters/hour.

use the rules for long division to divide 724 by 11
Answer:
65 r 9
Step-by-step explanation:
First we see what 7 divided by 11 is, we know that it is 0 so we put it in the top as our first number then we subtract 0 from 7 which is 7, then we bring down the 2 to make our next number 72, now we see if 11 can go into 72 and we know that it can by 6, we put our six on the top and then multiply it by 11 to get 66, we subtract our 66 from 72 to get 6, we bring down the 4 to make 64 and divide it by 11 to get 5 which we put on the top, then multiply 5 by 11 to get 55, subtract 55 by 64 to get 9 and because now there's no more numbers in the sum, 9 is our remainder.
