Answer:

7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.

x + y = 30

Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5

Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination.  I'll use substitution:

x = 30 − y

0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5

3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5

0.20 y = 4.5

y = 22.5

x = 30 − y

x = 7.5

Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.

Answer:

Sarah needs 7.5 liters of the 10% acid solution and 22.5 liters of the 30% acid solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - \text{volume of the}\ 10\%\ \text{acid solution}\\\\30 - x - \text{volume of the}\ 30\%\ \text{acid solution}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\25\%=\dfrac{25}{100}=0.25,\ 10\%=\dfrac{10}{100}=0.1,\ 30\%=\dfrac{30}{100}=0.3\\\\25\%\ of\ the\ 30\ liters\to(0.25)(30)\\10\%\ of\ the\ x\ liters\to0.1x\\30\%\ of\ the\ (30-x)\ liters\to0.3(30-x)\\\\\text{The equation:}\\\\0.1x+0.3(30-x)=(0.25)(30)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\0.1x+(0.3)(30)+(0.3)(-x)=7.5\\\\0.1x+9-0.3x=7.5\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}

-0.2x=-1.5\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-5)}\\\\x=7.5\ (liters)\\\\30-x=30-7.5=22.5\ (liters)

The teacher asked 4 students to measure 4 different objects. The table shown represents their measurements. Which student had th
Maru [420]

Student 4 has the largest percent error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error of a measurement is given by

p=\frac{|x-x_{true}|}{x_{true}}\cdot 100

where

x is the value of the measurement

x_{true} is the actual value

For student 1:

x=49\\x_{true}=50

Percent error:

p=\frac{|49-50|}{50}\cdot 100=0.02\cdot 100=2\%

For student 2:

x=25.5\\x_{true}=25

Percent error:

p=\frac{|25.5-25|}{25.5}\cdot 100=0.0196\cdot 100 = 1.96\%

For student 3:

x=7.5\\x_{true}=8

Percent error:

p=\frac{|7.5-8|}{8}\cdot 100=0.0625\cdot 100 = 6.25\%

For student 4:

x=2.1\\x_{true}=1.6

Percent error:

p=\frac{|2.1-1.6|}{1.6}\cdot 100=0.3125\cdot 100 = 31.25\%

So, student 4 has the largest percent error.

How many solutions does the system of linear equations have?
sattari [20]
There is no solutions to these linear equations. in order to find how many solutions there are, you first need to solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation. since both equations are almost the same and the same format, it won't have any solutions.

hope this helped, God bless!
