the first solution is 20% acid, and say we'll be using "x" liters, so how many liters of just acid are in it? well 20% of "x" or namely 0.2x. Likewise for the 60% acid solution, if we had "y" liters of it, the amount of only acid in it is 0.6y.


The slope of the line would be 7

Answer:
P=40
a + b + x = P
a = 3x
b = x + 5
substitute for b & y
3x + (x+5) + x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
longest section 1 = a
mid length section 2 = b
shortest section 3 = x
P=40
a + b + x = P
a = 3x
b = x + 5
substitute for b & y
3x + (x+5) + x = 40
5x + 5 = 40
5x = 35
x = 7
b = 12
a = 21
Answer:
We have that y = 21 when x = 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question by proportions, using a rule of three.
Since they vary inversely, we apply the inverse rule of three, that is, with lateral multiplication instead of diagonal.
33 - 7
y - 11
So
11y = 33 -7
y - 11
Dividing both sides by 11
Y = 3 * 7 = 21
We have that y = 21 when x = 11.
