THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
Exact form : -31/4
Decimal form: -7.75
mixed number form: -7(3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Mean: 5
Median: 5
Mode: 2
Range: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the mean by adding all the numbers together to get 45. Then we divide the 45 by the amount of numbers in the set, for this one it is 9. 45 divided by 9 equals 5.
To find the median we put the numbers in the set in order from least to greatest. Next, we find the middle number. median=5
To find the mode we find the number repeated the most. In this set the number that repeats the most is 2.
Range is found by subtracting the largest number and the smallest number. 9-2=7
