We do
concentration=amount times percent
total concentration=concentration8+concenctration20

so
12 times 8%+x times 20%=16% times (12+x)

x=amount of 20% acis solution

12*0.08+0.2*x=0.16*(12+x)
solve
distribute and simplify
0.96+0.2x=1.92+0.16x
minus 0.96 from both sides
0.20x=0.96+0.16x
minus 0.16x from both sides
0.04x=0.96
divide both sides by 0.04
x=24


24 liters of the 20% was added

(Distribute the 3)
6x +15 <span>≥ 2(x + 6)
(Distribute the 2)
6x + 15 </span><span>≥ 2x +12
(subtract 2x from both sides)
4x + 15 </span><span>≥ 12
(subtract 15 from both sides)
4x </span><span>≥ -3
(divide by 4x on both sides)
x </span>≥ -0.75

Why is - t - 3 written as 3 - t? Is it wrong if it is left as -t -3?
Eddi Din [679]

-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.

The snow is now 52 inches deep. If this was a 77% decrease, what was the initial depth? What equation can help you find this?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let 'x' be the initial depth

The snow is now 52 inches deep and it is a 77% decrease.

Let the initial 'x' depth be represented as 100%.

x → 100%

Given the current 52 inches is a 77% decrease. So, we need to decrease the 77/100 or 0.77 from the initial depth, so

[100% - 77%] of x = 52

[100/100 - 77/100] × x = 52

[1 - 0.77] × x = 52

0.23x = 52

Therefore, the required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.
