Carlos made the mistake that he did not combine like terms (3 x and 2 x) properly and did not use addition property of equality.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Carlos did the work as 3 x + 2 x - 6 = 24
We need to find his mistake that he made in above given.
Here, he did not add the like terms (3 x and 2 x)
3 x + 2 x = 5 x
Therefore, his work should be
5 x - 6 = 24
Also, he did not use addition property of equality. It means the equation remains same even though the same number gets added on both sides. It would be
5 x - 6 = 24
+ 6 = + 6
-----------------------
5 x = 30
Dividing 30 by 5, we get answer as '6'. Hence,
= 6
So, stated the above two are the mistakes found in carlos work.
Answer: There are 32 pints of first type and 128 pints of second type in mixture.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Percentage of pure fruit juice in first type = 60%
Percentage of pure fruit juice in second type = 85%
Percentage of pure fruit juice in mixture = 80%
We will use "Mixture and Allegation" to find the ratio of first and second type in mixture:
First type Second type
60% 85%
80%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
85-80 : 80-60
5% : 20%
1 : 4
so, the ratio of first and second type is 1:4.
Total number of pints of mixture = 160
Number of pints of mixture of first type in mixture is given by
Number of pints of mixture of second type in mixture is given by
Hence, there are 32 pints of first type and 128 pints of second type in mixture.
