15x-10=20
+10 +10
15x=30
\15 /15
x=2
you add 10 to both -10 (they cancek eachother out) and 20 (equals 30)
Then you divide 30 by 15 (equals 2) and 15 by 15 (they cancel eachother out)
Then you get x=2
1 + (-5/8) = 3/8
Explanation: If the coffee wasn’t drank it would’ve been at fraction 1 (or 100%)
Since he drank 5/8 of it. The coffee left is now 1-(5/8)
But since the question has asked to give the equation in addition format. Put a plus sign in between the two.
Therefore,
1 + (-5/8)
Solve it,
= 1-(5/8)
= (8-5)/8
= 3/8
Hence the equation is:
1 + (-5/8) = 3/8.
Answer:
33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations...
Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution
Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution
We need 50 liters total, so
x + y = 50
and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so
0.4x = 0.25y = 0.35(50)
Solve the first equation for one variable...
x = 50 - y (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)
Now substitute that value into the second equation...
0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5 (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)
Now solve for y...
20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5
-0.15y = -2.5
y = 16.66666667
y = 16 2/3 L
So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'
x + 16 2/3 = 50
x = 50 - 16 2/3
x = 33 1/3
