Answer:
3 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find how many quarts of antifreeze is in the mixture.
0.4 x 6 = 2.4
Now, make it into a fraction by putting the antifreeze amount over the rest so:
2.4/6
Now add + a at the end of the numerator and bottom to make:
2.4 + a/ 6 + a.
Now, turn the percentage you want to strengthen or weaken the mixture into a percentage. So, 3/5.
Now, make it an expression by adding = 3/5 at the end of the equation.
2.4 + a/ 6 + a = 3/5
Now, use cross multiplication.
12 + 5a = 18 + 3a
Now, solve the equation.
12 + 5a = 18 + 3a
-3a. -3a
12 + 2a = 18
-12. -12
2a = 6
/2. /2
a = 3.
Therefore, the answer is 3 quarts.
Answer: y=-5x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We know that C is the total number of cans in a complete case.
Victoria counts:
16 full cases, so in those we have: 16*C cans.
4 cases with 5 missing cans, so in those we have:
Then if each case has C cans, the cases that are missing 5 cans have:
C - 5 cans.
Then in those four cases we have a total of: 4*(C - 5) cans.
And Victoria knows that there are 220 cans, then we have that:
16*C + 4*(C - 5) = 220
16*C + 4*C - 20 = 220
16*C + 4*C = 220 + 20 = 240
20*C = 240
C = 240/20 = 12
Then each case has 12 cans.
Then the number of cans in the cases with missing cans is:
12 cans - 5 cans = 7 cans.
