Answer: 21.75\ milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the original volume of the solution (in milliliters) before the acid was added and "y" the volume of the solution (in milliliters) after the addition of the acid.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{x+y=90} \atop {y=3x+3}} \right.

Applying the Substitution Method, you can substitute the second equation into the first equation and then solve for "x":

x+y=90\\\\x+(3x+3)=90\\\\4x+3=90\\\\x=21.75

Answer:

Leg\ 1 = 8

Leg\ 2 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: See Attachment

Required

Determine the length of the legs

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

Hyp^2 = Adj^2 + Opp^2

In this case:

17^2 = x^2 + (2x- 1)^2

Open Bracket

17^2 = x^2 + 4x^2- 2x-2x + 1

17^2 = 5x^2 - 4x + 1

289= 5x^2 - 4x + 1

Collect Like Terms

5x^2 - 4x + 1 - 289 = 0

5x^2 - 4x - 288 = 0

Solving using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

So:

x = 8 or x = -7.2

Since, x can't be negative, then:

x = 8

One of the leg is:

Leg\ 1 = x

Leg\ 1 = 8

Leg\ 2 = 2x - 1

Leg\ 2 = 2*8 - 1

Leg\ 2 = 16 - 1

Leg\ 2 = 15
