Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x + 5 
) = 
Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x + 5 ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )
6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x =

A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
