Answer:
The value of x is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a system of equations to solve this.
Cups of 25% bleach solution used = x
Cups of 1-% bleach solution used = 5
Cups of solution we get = y
The first equation becomes:
x + 5 = y
Using the decimal forms of each percentage solution
25% solution for x cups = 0.25x
10% solution for 5 cups = 0.1(5)
20% solution for y cups = 0.2 y
The second equation becomes:
0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y
So the system of equations is:
x + 5 = y
0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y
Solve both equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y:
x = 10 cups
y = 15 cups
The first inequality has solution
4p > -8 . . . . . . subtract 1
p > -2 . . . . . . . divide by 4
This is graphed as an open dot at -2, with shading to the right.
Neither inequality symbol includes "or equal to", so both dots are open dots. The appropriate choice is the first one:
a number line with open circles at negative 2 and 5 with shading in between
Answer: There are 6 sections of 
of rope Mario can cut from the rope .
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of the rope for the tent = 7 feet
As we know that
Length of rope is used to tie a tarp on top of the tent = 34.5 inches
Remaining length of rope is given by
According to question, the remaining rope should be cut into
So, Number of sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope is given by
Hence, there are 6 sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that transitor has a 2% defective rate, need to calculate the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect.
The probability function is p(x=k) = (1-p)^(n-1) * p
p = (1-defective rate)^(n-1) * defective rate; n=10
p = (1-0.02)^9 * 0.02 = 0.98^9 * 0.02 = 0.01666
Answer: the length of the extended ladder is 8√3 feet or 13.9 feet
the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder is 4√3 feet or 6.9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine the extended length of the ladder h, we would apply
the Sine trigonometric ratio.
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Sin 60 = 12/h
√3/2 = 12/h
h = 12 × 2/√3 = 24√3
h = 24√3 × √3/√3
h = 8√3
To determine the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder d, we would apply
the cosine trigonometric ratio.
Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse.
Therefore,
Cos 60 = d/8√3
0.5 = d/8√3
d = 0.5 × 8√3
d = 4√3
