Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.
<span> -8x=72-16y
4x=-92+16y <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2: 8x = - 184 + 32y
Now combine the following, column by column:
</span><span> -8x= 72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
0 = -112 + 16y. Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.
Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:
<span>4x=-92+16(7) => 4x = -92 + 112 = 20. Then x = 5.
Solution is 5, -7 (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>

Answer:
9⁸
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

Lets say x is quantity
65%x+25%(600-x)=45%of 600
.65x+.25(600-x)=.45*600
.65x+150-0.25x=270
0.4x=120
x=300ml
