Work in amount of pure acid let x = gallons of pure acid required.
then we have the equation:-

x + 55(0.6) = 0.80(x + 55)

x + 33 = 0.80x + 44
0.20x = 11
x = 11/0.2 = 55 gallons answer

Arisa [49]

Answer:

She will use:

3 tablespoons of pepper

7 tablespoons of garlic powder

$\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoon of thyme

8 tablespoons of onion powder

Explanation:

To double the amount, Stephanie will need to double the amount of each ingredient used. This means that she will multiply each amount by 2

Therefore:

New amount of any ingredient = old amount of that ingredient x 2

This means that:

New amount of pepper = $1\frac{1}{2}*2= 3$ tablespoons

New amount of garlic powder = $3\frac{2}{4}*2=7$ tablespoons

New amount of thyme = $\frac{1}{8}*2=\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoons

New amount of onion powder = $4*2=8$ tablespoons

Hope this helps :)

Y=40+5x
For an example, say Mia wanted to add $5 into her account each week for 2 weeks.
y=40+5(2)
5(2)=10
y=40+10
y=50
Mia will have a total of $50 in her account if she added $5 for each week for 2 weeks. Same for Juan, his equation will be based off his amount y=15+10x

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use $x$ .

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation $5x+5=20$ . Our goal is to find the value of $x$ . We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

$5x=15\\\\x=3$

We now know the value of $x$ since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!
