John is making punch. How many cups of 50% juice should he add to a drink that contains 10% juice if he wants to make 15 cups of

punch containing 20% juice? (How many cups of each drink)
Define one variable based on the percentage of which is being asked.

Lets make a equal the amount of mixture a and b the amount of mixture b.  You can made an equation .10a+.50b=.20(15) and a+b=15.  So then you make the system of equations:
.10a+.50b=3
a+b=15
I would substitute b in the first equation with b=15-a to get the single equation .10a+.50(15-b)=3 and then solve for b.
.10a+7.5-.5a=3
-.4a+7.5=3
-.40b=-4.5
a=11.25
With that value of a you can find that b=3.75
Therefore you you have to mix 11.25 cups of 10% juice with 3.75 cups of 50% juice to get 15 cups of 20% juice.

This is how I would solve the question.  I don't really know what the question means by setting up a table so I hope this method is fine. If it is not please let me know in the comments so that I can try to fix it.
I hope this helps.

P.S. Let me know if you want me to try to explain to you how I got my first equation.  You have to use knowledge that you will eventually learn in chemistry when going over the unit that introduces you to solutions.

Write an equation in point slope and slope intercept form of a line that passes through the given point and has the given slope
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Point-Slope: y+4=-\frac{1}{2}(x+3)

Slope-Intercept: y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}  ). The slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b. Since we are given the point and slope, we can directly plug it into the point-slope formula.

Point-Slope

y-(-4)=-\frac{1}{2}(x- (-3))

y+4=-\frac{1}{2} (x+3)

To find the slope-intercept form, we can manipulate the point-slope form to get the slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept

y+4=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}
