Answer:
2,349.6 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
To start solving this, i realized that there was a difference in the units given and the units asked for in the answer, so I converted 2.937 grams to 2,397 mg. It is given that there are 2.145 mg of the drug in 1.716 mL, so set up the equation 2.145 / 1.716 = 2,937 / x, where x is the mL of the drug needed. Cross multiply to get 5039.892 = 2.145 x. Divide by 2.145 and get 2,349.6 ml
What you wanna do here is use a calculator, as "e" in mathematics refers to the "e" on a calculator. The tricky part about this question is that the answer for the equation is the given percentage, NOT the value for "x". From there, plug in the multiple choice answers for "x" and see which one works!
In this case, A is the correct answer. B is absurdly large, so I omitted it immediately in the attached picture.
Answer:
D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4
E. 1/6(20 − 24)
F. (20−24) ÷ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x + 4) = 20
6(x) + 6(4) = 20
6x + 24 = 20
- 24 - 24
6x = -4
/6 /6
x = -4/6 or x = -2/3
D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4
20/6 - 4
20/6 - 24/6
-4/6 = -2/3
E. 1/6(20 − 24)
1/6(-4)
-4/6 = -2/3
F. (20 − 24) ÷ 6
- 4 / 6
-4/6 = -2/3
Hope this helps!
There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
