<span>5.7 liters of a 5% solution combined with 4.3 liters of a 40% solution. To begin, define the problem with formulas. x Represents the liters of the 5% solution utilized. 10-x Represents the liters of the 40% solution used. This forms an equation: 5% of x plus 40% of (10-x) equals 20% of 10. 0.05x + 0.40(10-x) = 0.20 * 10 Now, distribute the 0.40 coefficient. 0.05x + 4.0 - 0.40x = 0.20 * 10 Next, combine the terms. 4.0 - 0.35x = 2.0 Add 0.35x to each side. 4.0 = 2.0 + 0.35x Subtract 2 from both sides. 2.0 = 0.35x Lastly, divide both sides by 0.35. 5.7 = x Thus, 5.7 liters of a 5% solution is required. To determine the volume of the 40% solution, subtract from 10. 10.0 - 5.7 = 4.3</span>

Unit 3 parallel and perpendicular lines Homework 2, please help quickly
Zina [9171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines l and m are parallel and there is a transversal cutting through these lines.

5). (9x + 2)° = 119° [by alternate interior angles]

    9x = 117 ⇒ x = 13

6). (12x - 8)° + 104° = 180°

     12x = 180 - 96

     x = \frac{84}{12} ⇒ x = 7

7). (5x + 7) = (8x - 71) [by alternate exterior angles]

    8x - 5x = 71 + 7

    3x = 78

     x = 26

8). (4x - 7) = (7x - 61) [by corresponding angles]

    7x - 4x = -7 + 61

    3x = 54

     x = 18

9). (9x + 25) = (13x - 19) [by corresponding angles]

    13x - 9x = 25 + 19

    4x = 44

     x = 11

   (13x - 19)° + (17y + 5)° = 180° [linear pairs of angles sum to supplementary]

    (13×11) - 19 + 17y + 5 = 180

    129 + 17y = 180

    17y = 180 - 129

     y = 3

10). (3x - 29) + (8y + 17) = 180 [linear pairs of angles sum to supplementary]

     3x + 8y = 180 + 12

     3x + 8y = 192 -----(1)

     (8y + 17) = (6x - 7) [by alternate exterior angles]

     6x - 8y = 24

     3x - 4y = 12 -----(2)

     From equation (1) subtract equation (2)

     (3x + 8y) - (3x - 4y) = 192 - 12

     12y = 180

     y = 15

     Plugging into equation (1),

     3x + 8(15) = 192

     3x + 120 = 192

    x = 24

11). (3x + 49)° = (7x - 23)° [by corresponding angles]

    7x - 3x = 49 + 23

    4x = 72 ⇒ x = 18

    (11y - 1)° = (3x)° [by corresponding angles]

    11y = 3×18 + 1

     11y = 55 ⇒ y = 5

12). (5x - 38)° = (3x - 4)° [by corresponding angles]

     5x - 3x = 38 - 4

     2x = 34

     x = 17

     (7y - 20)° + (5x - 38)° + 90° = 180°

     [The angles within a triangle sum to 180°]

     7y + 5x - 58 = 90

     5x + 7y = 148

     5×17 + 7y = 148

     85 + 7y = 148

     7y = 148 - 85

     y = \frac{63}{7}=9

Which ratio would allow you to convert from 45 cm into feet? A. 1 inch/2.54 cm...because feet would cancel out B. 2.54cm/1 becau
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

The appropriate ratio to convert 45 cm into feet is 1 foot / 2.54 cm since the centimeters will cancel out.

Step-by-step explanation:

We aim to find the ratio that will allow us to convert from centimeters to feet for 45 cm.

The right ratio here is 1 foot / 2.54 cm, as the cm unit will be eliminated, resulting only in feet.

This works as follows;

1 foot / 2.54 cm * 45 cm.

This simplifies to;

(45 cm * 1 foot) / 2.54 cm.

On a coordinate plane, 3 triangles are shown. Triangle B C D has points (1, 4), (1, 2), (5, 3). Triangle B prime C prime D prime

The transformation sequence that maps ΔBCD to ΔB"C"D" is:

Reflection across the y-axis combined with a translation of 6 units in the x direction and -5 units in the y direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down the reflection across the y-axis, horizontal translation, and vertical translation:

1. For point (x, y), reflecting it across the y-axis gives the point (-x, y).

2. Translating point (x, y) h units to the right results in (x + h, y), and h units to the left results in (x - h, y).

3. If point (x, y) is moved k units up, it becomes (x, y + k), and if moved k units down, it is (x, y - k).

∵ The vertices of triangle BCD are (1, 4), (1, 2), (5, 3).

∵ The vertices of triangle B'C'D' are (-1, 4), (-1, 2), (-5, 3).

∵ The x-coordinates of ΔB'C'D' have the same absolute value as those of ΔBCD but with opposite signs, indicating that ΔB'C'D' results from reflecting ΔBCD across the y-axis.

∵ The vertices of triangle B'C'D' are (-1, 4), (-1, 2), (-5, 3).

∵ The vertices of triangle B''C''D'' are (5, -1), (5, -3), (1, -2).

∵ The reflected x-coordinate -1 becomes +5, and -5 becomes +1,

thus the x-coordinates of triangle B'C'D' are increased by 6.

∵ The images of 4, 2, and 3 yield -1, -3, and -2 respectively,

hence subtracting 5 from the y-coordinates of triangle B'C'D' leads us to ΔB"C"D" through a translation of 6 units right and 5 units down ⇒ (x + 6, y - 5).

The transformation sequence that maps ΔBCD to ΔB"C"D" is:

Reflection across the y-axis combined with a translation of 6 units in the x direction and -5 units in the y direction.
