Answer:

$bd=88$ , $bc=27$ , $cd=61$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

$bd=bc+cd$

we have

$bd=7x-10$

$bc=4x-29$

$cd=5x-9$

substitute the values and solve for x

$7x-10=(4x-29)+(5x-9)$

Group terms that contain the same variable in the right sides

$7x-10=(4x+5x)+(-29-9)$

Combine like terms in the right side

$7x-10=9x-38$

$9x-7x=-10+38$

$2x=28$

$x=14$

Find the value of bd

$bd=7(14)-10=88$

Find the value of bc

$bc=4(14)-29=27$

Find the value of cd

$cd=5(14)-9=61$

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut

wel

(50 - x) is the amount of the 15% Alcohol solution to use. If you solve for x first.
0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50)
0.10x - 0.15x + 7.5 = 6
-0.05x + 7.5 = 6
7.5 - 6 = 0.05x
1.5 = 0.05x
1.5/0.05 = x
30 mL = x

Then the 15% solution: 50 - 30 = 20 mL

A certain forest covers an area of 4000 km2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7%. What will the area be after 5 yea

Levart [38]

Answer:

2,600

Explanation:

Your first step is to find 7% of 4000 ( this is what it is decreasing by per year).
As a result you end up with 280.
Multiply 280 by 5.
1,400 should be your answer( amount of km decreasing after 5 years). This is a decreasing forest, so you subtract 4,000by 1,400.

Which of the following describes the graph of y = StartRoot negative 4 x minus 36 EndRoot compared to the parent square root fun

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

stretched by a factor of 2, reflected over the y-axis, and translated 9 units left

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is $y=\sqrt{-4x-36}$

We can rewrite this function by factoring -4 in the radicand to get:

$y=\sqrt{-4(x+9)}$

We further simplify the square root of 4 to get:

$y=2\sqrt{-(x+9)$

The parent function is $y=\sqrt{x}$

When we compare to the parent function, there is a stretch by a factor of 2, reflection over the y-axis, and translation 9 units left

The last option is correct
