Try this:
1) note that weight of pure antifreeze before mixing and after mixing is the same. So, if 'x' is weight of pure antifreeze in 50% solution, it is possible to make up equation before mixing: 0.5x+0.2*90.
2) there are 0.2*90=18 gal. of pure antifreeze in the 20% solution. If 'x' gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 50% sol. and 18 gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 20% sol., it is possible to make up an equation after mixing: 0.4(x+18).
3) using the both parts: 0.5x+0.2*90=0.4(x+18) ⇒ x=54 gal. of <u>pure</u> weight.
4) to find 50% solution of 54 gal. pure weight just 54:0.5=108 gal.
Answer: 108 gal.

Solve for : x 4(x+5)=3(x-2)-2(x+2)
Allushta [10]

Hey there!!

In order to solve this equation, we will have to use the distributive property.

What is distributive property?

We will need to distribute one term to the other terms preset.

Example : 4 ( 3x - 1 )

sing distributive property, we will have to distribute the term outside the parenthesis to the terms inside. In this case, we will have to distribute 4 to 3x and -1

( 4 × 3x ) + ( 4 × -1 )

12x + ( -4 )

= 12x - 4

This is after implementing the distributive property.

Now moving back onto the question

4 ( x + 5 ) = 3 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 )

Let us first solve 4 ( x + 5 )

Distribute 4 to x and 5

( 4 × x ) + ( 4 × 5 )

4x + 20

Now let's solve 3 ( x - 2 )

Distribute 3 to x and -2

( 3 × x ) + ( 3 × - 2 )

3x - 6

Solve for -2 ( x + 2 )

Distribute -2 to x and 2

( -2 × x ) + ( -2 × 2 )

-2x - 4

Now, let's get everything back together

4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4

Combine all the like terms

4x + 20 = x - 10

Adding 10 on both sides

4x + 20 + 10 = x - 10 + 10

4x + 30 = x

Subtracting 4x on both sides

4x - 4x + 30 = x - 4x

30 = -3x

Dividing by -3 on both sides

30 / -3 = -3x / -3

- 10 = x

<h2>x = - 10 </h2><h3>Hope my answer helps!</h3>
