Step-by-step explanation:
1. if the number of pages in the 1st day is 'x', then the 2d day - 'x+10', the 3d day - 'x+20', the 4th day - 'x+30', the 5th day - 'x+40' and the last day - 'x+50' pages;
2. if the sum of all the pages is 300, then it is possible to make up the equation:
x+x+10+x+20+x+30+x+40+x+50=300;
3. x=25, it means:
1st day - 25;
2d day - 35;
3d day - 45;
4th day - 55;
5th day - 65;
6th day - 75 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Answer:
y = 3x
