The tank is filled up at a total rate of 10 gal/min, and currently contains 500 gal of solution. It can hold up to 1000 gal, so it will take time t to fill it up completely:

500 gal = (10 gal/min) t

t = (500 gal) / (10 gal/min)

t = 50 min

In that time,

(8 gal/min) (50 min) = 400 gal of cola

and

(2 gal/min) (50 min) = 100 gal of cherry syrup

are added to the tank, so that when it's full, the tank contains 850 gal of cola and 150 gal of syrup.

So 150 gal of the total 1000 gal of solution is cherry syrup, or (150 gal)/(1000 gal) = 15/100 = 15% of the mixture.

Help, answer one that hasn’t been answered

4x + 2x = < y

This is because the opposite sides (which is 4x and 2x) of a triangle add up to the exterior angle (<y).

We have to find X.

As you know:

$3x + 4x + 2x = 180$

because the angles of a triangle add up to 180.

When we add them:

$9x = 180$

$x = \frac{180}{9}$

The 9 is multiplying with the X. We want X only and not 9 with it. So, when we take 9 to the other side, it becomes divide. As a result, the answer to x is:-

$x = 20$
