1 answer:

7 0

First you would do 5-2.
That would give you 3(x-1)=12
Next, 3 would be distributed into x-1
That would give you 3x-3=12
After that, you add 3 on both sides of the equal sign.
That would give you 3x=15
Finally, divide 3 on both sides and your final answer is:
x=5
If you do a Check, 12 will equal 12.
Hope this helps!!!

Jlenok [28]

The percentage of yellow tint in the new mixture will be 39.1304...%

Explanation

A mixture of 60 liters of paint is 25% red tint, 30% yellow tint and 45% water.

And the total amount of the new mixture will be: $(60+9)liters= 69$ liters.

So, the percentage of yellow tint in the new mixture $=\frac{27}{69}\times 100\% = 39.1304... \%$
