You have a large container of castor oil. You have used 34 quarts of oil.
Fifteen percent of the castor oil remains. How many quarts of castor oil
remain?
co

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  6 quarts

=====================================================

Explanation:

x = original amount of caster oil (in quarts)

Since 15% remains, this means you used 85% of the original amount x.

Note how 15% + 85% = 100%

So,

85% of x = 34 quarts

0.85x = 34

x = 34/0.85

x = 40

You started with 40 quarts of oil.

15% of that remains, meaning 0.15*40 = 6 quarts of oil are left over.

-----------

We could also solve like this

(amount used)/(amount total) = (percent)/(100)

34/x = 85/100

34*100 = x*85

3400 = 85x

85x = 3400

x = 3400/85

x = 40

So we end up with the same x value as before, and we follow the same set of steps at the end of the first section to end up with the answer of 6 quarts.

a=bcd
a+b=cd
a+b+c=d
a+b+c+d=1​

Answers

Answer:

a = 1/42, b = 1/7, c = 1/3 and d = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = bcd (1)

a + b = cd (2)

a + b + c = d (3)

a + b + c + d = 1  (4)​

Substituting equation (3) into equation (4), we have

a + b + c = d (3)

a + b + c + d = 1  (4)​

(a + b + c) + d = 1  (4)​

d + d = 1  (5)

2d = 1

dividing through by 2, we have

d = 1/2

Taking equation (2) and equation (3), we have

a + b = cd (2)

a + b + c = d (3)

substituting equation (2) into equation (3), we have

a + b = cd (2)

(a + b) + c = d (3)

cd + c = d

Factorizing, we have

c(d + 1) = d

dividing through by d + 1, we have

c = d/(d + 1)

substituting d = 1/2 into the equation, we have

c = d/(d + 1)

c = 1/2 ÷ (1/2 + 1)

c = 1/2 ÷ 3/2

c = 1/2 × 2/3

c = 1/3

Taking equations (1) and (2), we have

a = bcd (1)

a + b = cd (2)

Substituting equation (1) into (2), we have

a = bcd (1)

a + b = cd (2)

bcd + b = cd (2)

Factorizing, we have

b(cd + 1) = cd

dividing through by (cd + 1), we have

b = cd/(cd + 1)

substituting the values of c and d into the equation,, we have

b = cd/(cd + 1)

b = 1/3 × 1/2/(1/3 × 1/2 + 1)

b = 1/6/(1/6 + 1)

b = 1/6 ÷ 7/6

b = 1/6 × 6/7

b = 1/7

Since a = bcd, substituting the values of b,c and d into the equation, we have

a = bcd

a = 1/7 × 1/3 × 1/2

a = 1/42

So, a = 1/42, b = 1/7, c = 1/3 and d = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x + m is a factor, that means that when x = -m the equation equals 0. Sub -m into x

0 = (-m)^2 - 5m(-m) + 3

0 = m^2 - 5m^2 + 3

0 = -4m^2 + 3

Butter kruse made 522 glaze donuts and 323 chocolate covered donuts. They put the donuts in boxes. Each box holds 12 donuts. How many boxes do they need?

Answers

Answer:

71 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 522 (# of glaze donuts) and 323(# of chocolate covered donuts).....845(# of total donuts)

2. Divide 845 by 12(the # of donuts each box could hold)....70.41666(repeating)

3. As you can't have a 0.41666 of a box, you round up 70.4166666 to 71.

71*12=852 70*12=840

Even though 71 boxes is more than enough to hold 845 donuts, there is simply no other choice, as there is no smaller box that holds less than 12 donuts.

The function f(x) = x2 has been translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?

g(x) = (x + 9)2 + 4
g(x) = (x + 9)2 − 4
g(x) = (x − 4)2 + 9
g(x) = (x + 4)2 + 9

Answers

Answer:

The function that represents g(x) is the third choice: g(x) = (x − 4)^2 + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The original function has been shifted 9 units up (a vertical transformation). To show a vertical transformation, all we have to do is either add or subtract at the end of the function.

To show a shift upwards, we add the value of change.

To show a shift downwards, we subtract the value of change.

In this case, the original function f(x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] was translated 9 units up. Since we shifted up, we simply add 9 to the end of the function: g(x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 9

The original function has also been shifted 4 units to the right. This is a horizontal transformation. To show a horizontal transformation, we need to either add or subtract within the function (within the parenthesis).

To show a shift to the left, we add the value of change.

To show a shift to the right, we subtract the value of change.

*Notice: Moving left does NOT mean to subtract while moving right does NOT mean to add. The rules above are counterintuitive so pay attention when doing horizontal transformations.

In this case, the original function f(x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] was translated 4 units to the right. Since we shifted right, we must subtract 4 units within the function/parenthesis: g(x) = [tex](x-4)^{2}[/tex]

When we combine both vertical and horizontal changes, the only equation that follows these rules is the third choice: g(x) = (x − 4)^2 + 9

For the given functions f and g , find the indicated composition. F(x) = -5x + 4, g(x) = 4x + 6 (g∘f)(x)

Answers

Answer:

(g∘f)(x) = -20x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

(g∘f)(x) simply means g(f(x))

We are given;

f(x) = -5x + 4

g(x) = 4x + 6

Thus;

(g∘f)(x) = 4(-5x + 4) + 6

(g∘f)(x) = -20x + 16 + 6

(g∘f)(x) = -20x + 22

A flag has a perimeter of 5 metres. The length of the flag is 600 mm more than the

Which of the linear systems in the choices represents the description?
O2L + 2W = 5
L - 600 = W
O2L + 2W = 5000
L - 600 = W
OL+W = 5000
W + 600 = L
O L x W = 5000
L + 600 = W

Answers

Answer:

The first two.

Step-by-step explanation:

See that L is 600mm MORE than W.

From there, you can note that L = W+600  

or rearrange the formula and get W= L-600

Then, see that the perimeter of a flag is 2L + 2W

(Because there are two four sides to a rectangle, 2 width, 2 length)

It must total to be 5 meters, or 5000mm

Thus,

2L + 2W = 5000
