15 gallons of 35% peroxide solution contains 0.35 × 15 = 5.25 gallons of hydrogen peroxide. The rest of the volume is made up of 15 - 5.25 = 9.75 gallons of water.

If we add x gallons of water to the solution, the amount of hyrdrogen peroxide in the solution stays the same, but the volume of water increases to 9.75+x gallons, and the total volume increases to 15+x gallons.

To get a concentration of 8% in this diluted solution, we add x gallons of water such that

\dfrac{5.25}{15+x} = 0.08

Solve for x.

5.25 = 0.08 (15 + x)

5.25 = 1.2 + 0.08x

0.08x = 4.05

x = 50.625

To get the desired concentration, one must add 50.625 gallons of water, and one will end up with a total volume of 65.625 gallons of solution.

Three more than four times a number is 15
vodka [1.7K]
You can model this with the equation 4x+3=15 since it is a number (x) times 4 with 3 added and equals 15.
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x=12
Divide both sides by 4
x=3

8×{[(7+4)×2]-[(11-7)×4]}
TEA [102]
Solve in the brackets first. then the rest so...
8*{[(7+4)*2]-[(11-7)*4]}      <-- this is the starting equation
8*{[(11)*2]-[(4)*4]}       <-- here i solved the inner most brackets which was 7+4 and 11-7
8*{[22]-[16]}    <-- then i multiplied 11 by 2 to get 22 and 4 by 4 to get 16
8*{6}    <-- here i subtracted 16 from 22 to get 6
48     < and then the answer which i got by multiplying 6 and 8
**note: keep BEDMAS/BODMAS in your mind. u solve the inner most brackets first and then you move outside. 
48 is the answer
hope it helped :)
