A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15 % acid, the second contains 35 % and the third contains 65 % . He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 72 liters containing 45 % acid, using 2 times as much of the 65 % solution as the 35 % solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18 liters 15% acid

18 liters 35% acid

36 liters 65% acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is the volume of 15% acid, y is the volume of 35% acid, and z is the volume of 65% acid.

x + y + z = 72

z = 2y

The amounts of acid add up to the final amount.

0.15x + 0.35y + 0.65z = 0.45 (72)

Substitute the expression for z into both equations.

x + y + 2y = 72

0.15x + 0.35y + 0.65 (2y) = 0.45 (72)

Simplify:

x + 3y = 72

0.15x + 1.65y = 32.4

Solve for x in the first equation, then substitute into the second.

x = 72 − 3y

0.15 (72 − 3y) + 1.65y = 32.4

Solve for y.

10.8 − 0.45y + 1.65y = 32.4

1.2y = 21.6

y = 18

Now find x and z.

x = 72 − 3y = 18

z = 2y = 36

Answer 2

18 liters 15% acid, 18 liters 35% acid and 36 liters 65% acid should be used.

What is percentage?

Percentage is a measurement to find the value of a given number out of a hundred.

Let x is the volume of 15% acid, y is the volume of 35% acid, and z is the volume of 65% acid.

Given that, the total mixture is 72 liters,

Implies that,

x + y + z = 72

Also,65% solution is used two times as 35% solution is used.

z = 2y

The amounts of acid add up to the final amount.

0.15x + 0.35y + 0.65z = 0.45 (72)      

Substitute the value of z here,

0.15x + 0.35y + 0.65 (2y) = 0.45 (72)

Simplify

x + 3y = 72

0.15x + 1.65y = 32.4      

Solve for x in the first equation, then substitute into the second.

x = 72 − 3y

0.15 (72 − 3y) + 1.65y = 32.4

Solve for y.

10.8 − 0.45y + 1.65y = 32.4

1.2y = 21.6

y = 18

Now find x and z.

x = 72 − 3y = 18

z = 2y = 36

18 liters 15% acid, 18 liters 35% acid and 36 liters 65% acid should be used.

k-2-6+5k = 6k - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For -5v+3v

-5 + 3 = -2

V is left so it's -2v

For k-2-6+5k

k + 5k - 2 - 6

6k - 2 - 6

6k - 8

1) -5v + 3v

= -2v

2) k - 2 - 6 + 5k

k + 5k = 6k

6k - 2 - 6

-2 - 6

= -8

a tree is sold based on the circumference of the tree. if a tree has the radius of 4+inches, then what is the circumference of the tree

Answers

Answer:

The circumference of the tree will be: 25.12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the tree = r = 4 inches

As the tree is sold based on the circumference of the tree.

The formula of the circumference = C = 2πr

                                                               = 2(3.14)(4)     ∵ r = 4 inches

                                                               = 25.12 inches

Therefore, the circumference of the tree will be: 25.12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The asked numbers are -8 and 3.

What are equations?

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two mathematical expressions are equal.

For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an 'equal' sign.

Given that, two numbers multiply to -24 and add up to -5

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y = -5...(i)

xy = -24

x = -24/y...(ii)

Put eq (ii) in eq (i)

-24/y + y = -5

-24 + y² = -5y

y²+5y-24 = 0

Factorizing,

y = 8 and 3

Taking y = 3, put it in eq(ii)

x = -24/3

x = -8

Hence, the asked numbers are -8 and 3.

The quadratic x2 − 5x + 6 factors as (x − 2)(x − 3). Hence the equation x2 − 5x + 6 = 0

has solutions x = 2 and x = 3.

Similarly we can factor the cubic x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 as (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3), which enables us to show that the solutions of x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 = 0 are x = 1, x = 2 or x = 3. In this module we will see how to arrive at this factorisation.

Polynomials in many respects behave like whole numbers or the integers. We can add, subtract and multiply two or more polynomials together to obtain another polynomial. Just as we can divide one whole number by another, producing a quotient and remainder, we can divide one polynomial by another and obtain a quotient and remainder, which are also polynomials.

A quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c has either 0, 1 or 2 solutions, depending on whether the discriminant is negative, zero or positive. The number of solutions of the this equation assisted us in drawing the graph of the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c. Similarly, information about the roots of a polynomial equation enables us to give a rough sketch of the corresponding polynomial function.

As well as being intrinsically interesting objects, polynomials have important applications in the real world. One such application to error-correcting codes is discussed in the Appendix to this module.

Rules for simplifing variables which may be raised to a power:

   (3) variables raised to an even exponent: Half the exponent taken out, nothing remains inside the radical. examples:

[tex]101 * 102 = 10302[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Find 101 * 102

[tex]101 * 102 =[/tex]

Express as a sum of 100

[tex](100 + 1) * (100 + 2)[/tex]

Compare this to [tex](x + a)(x + b)[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]x = 100[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

[tex]b = 2[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex](x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab[/tex]

Substitute 100 for x, 1 for a and 2 for b

[tex](100 + 1) * (100 + 2) = 100^2 + (1 + 2) * 100 + 1 * 2[/tex]

[tex](100 + 1) * (100 + 2) = 100^2 + 3 * 100 + 2[/tex]

[tex](100 + 1) * (100 + 2) = 10000 + 300 + 2[/tex]

[tex](100 + 1) * (100 + 2) = 10302[/tex]

angles in a straight line add upto 180°

therefore angle ABC =80°

But it is alternate to the one at x.

Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠CBD = ∠ABF  

          = 100°

(Vertically opposite angles are equal and AD and EH are parallel with CG cutting across both lines)

∠x = 180°-100°

    = 80°

(∠ABF and ∠x are consecutive interior angles as they are within two parallel lines so they add up to 180°)
