Let’s say we have x gallons of brand 1 antifreeze and y gallons of brand 2 antifreeze. We know we need a total of 140 gallons, so one equation to relate the variables would be x+y=140. We also know that our final mixture should have 60% antifreeze, so another equation would be the weighted average of the two brands: .55x+.80y140=.60. (The weighted average is basically multiplying each % (55 and 80) by the number of gallons you have (x and y
) and adding those together, and dividing that by the total number of gallons (140). This equals the % of the final mixture (60).)
Now we have a system of two equations that we can solve.
x+y=140
.55x+.80y140=.60
*rearrange first equation to solve for y
:
y=140−x
*substitute this value in for y
in the second equation:
.55x+.80(140−x)140=.60
*use algebra and solve for x
:
The algebra shouldn’t be too complex, and I’m hoping you’re asking this about the setup rather than the actual algebra, and I’m lazy, and I used a calculator to solve this, and this is probably a long run-on sentence, and I got x=112
.
*plug this in to first equation and solve for y
:
y=140−112=28
x=112,y=28
112 gallons of brand 1 antifreeze, 28 gallons of brand 2 antifreeze. That’s a whole lot of antifreeze.
thanx heyaaaaaa
Answer:
I think it is but not 100% sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
This is the transitive property of equality says that if a = b, and b = c, then a = c
Part A:
Given that in a sample of 400 registered voters, 204 were democrats, i.e. n = 400, <span>
</span>The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of registered democrats voters in the population is given by:
Part B:
Given that t<span>here
are 169 million registered voters in the US, the interval for
the number of registered democrats in the population is given by
[0.461(169,000,000), 0.559(169,000,000)] = (77,909,000, 94,471,000)

R^2=(x-6)^2+(y-4)^2
r^2=(6-2)^2+(4-1)^2, r^2=16+9=25
(x-6)^2+(y-4)^2=25
