Hello!

We have the difference between 30 and x(our unknown value) is equal to 17; so we just simply set it up that way. Always think of x or any variable(like in your question they use p, it can be anything u want, it’s simply a representation of an unknown value we are trying to find)as your unknown and what operation they are implying as in this case it’s subtraction as they want the difference between 30 and x.

So the answer is a. 30-p=17

Hope this helped and any questions please just ask. Thank you!

A 25% acid solution must be added to a 40% solution to get 240 liters of 30% acid solution. How many of each should be used ?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y

Our system of Equations =

x + y = 240 liters....... Equation 1

x = 240 - y

A 25% acid solution must be added to a 40% solution to get 240 liters of 30% acid solution.

25% × x + 40% × y = 240 liters × 30%

0.25x+ 0.4y = 72...... Equation 2

We substitute 240 - y for x in Equation 2

0.25(240 - y)+ 0.4y = 72

60 - 0.25y + 0.4y = 72

Collect like terms

- 0.25y + 0.4y = 72 - 60

0.15y = 12

y = 12/0.15

y = 80 Liters

Solving for x

x = 240 - y

x = 240 liters - 80 Liters

x = 160 liters

Therefore,

The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters

The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters
