Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution

P is the incenter of △JKL. Find m∠JKP.<br> &amp; can you please explain
dangina [55]

Answer:

  • m∠MKP = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors.</u>

  • ∠MJP = ∠OJP, ∠MKP = ∠NKP, ∠NLP = ∠OLP

<u>First find the value of x:</u>

  • 7x - 6 = 5x + 4
  • 7x - 5x = 4 + 6
  • 2x = 10
  • x = 5

<u>Find the angle MJP:</u>

  • 7*5 - 6 = 29°

<u>We know sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Using this find the missing angle measure:</u>

  • 2*m∠MJP + 2*m∠NJP + 2*m∠MKP = 180°
  • m∠MJP + m∠NJP + m∠MKP = 90°
  • 29° + 26° + m∠MKP = 90°
  • m∠MKP = 90° - 55°
  • m∠MKP = 35°
