Answer:

The equation can be used to find <em>x</em>, the number of gallons that should be evaporated is: \frac{13.5}{90-x}=\frac{25}{100}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider <em>x</em> is the amount of water Carlon plans to evaporate.

Thus, 90 - <em>x</em> is the amount of water after being evaporated.

The amount of salt is 15% of 90 gallons which can be written as:

S=90\times{0.15}

S=13.5

The percentage of salt will be:

\%S=\frac{13.5}{90-x}=\frac{25}{100}

Hence, the equation can be used to find <em>x</em>, the number of gallons that should be evaporated is: \frac{13.5}{90-x}=\frac{25}{100}.

Which function has a Vertex at the origin f(x)= (x+4)^2, f(x) x(x-4), f(x)=(x-4)(x+4), f(x)=-x^2
Studentka2010 [4]
First of all, we need to know what is the vertex means which is the maximum or minimum point of a parabola and the formula will be:
x=-b/2a
Where b and a from
f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
So do find which function has a vertex of origin. Let's find the vertex of all the function that we had:
f(x)=(x+4)^2
f(x)=(x+4)(x+4)
f(x)=x^2+8x+16
x=-b/2a
x=-8/2(1)
x=-8/2
x=-4
Not the right answer because the vertex needs to be origin which is x=0

f(x)=x(x-4)
f(x)=x^2-4x
x=-b/2a
x=-(-4)/2(2)
x=4/4
x=1
Not the right answer

f(x)=(x-4)(x+4)
f(x)=x^2-16
x=-0/2(1)
x=0
Yay! This is the right answer. As a result, f(x)=(x-4)(x+4) is your final answer. Hope it help!

Find a26 in the arithmetic sequence: -15, -35, -55, -75
MrRissso [65]

Answer: x=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4−7x=31

−4+−7x=31

−7x−4=31

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−7x−4+4=31+4

−7x=35

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

−7x

−7

=

35

−7

x=−5

a rectangle pyramid fits exactly on top of a rectangular prism. the prism has a length of 18 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a height o
irina1246 [14]
To find the volume of the prism you are going to use the formula  V=WxLxH.
When you plug in your numbers you should get V= 18x6x9 which ends up equaling 972.

Now that you have that you need to find the volume of the pyramid using the formula V= L x W x H /3 and when you plug that in it looks like
V= 18 x 6 x 15 /3

Upon simplifying that you get 540.

Now you have the volume of your rectangular prism and your rectangular pyramid add them together and you should get 1512



I recommend drawing it out... it helps a lot:)
