Amelia must substitute 8 for the variable using parentheses. To simplify, Amelia must multiply 8 by 6. 8 is not a solution of the equation.

<h3>What is algebraic expression?</h3>

Algebraic expression are the expression which consist the variables, coefficients of variables and constants.

The algebraic expression are used represent the general problem in the mathematical way to solve them.

Amelia is using substitution to determine if 8 is a solution to the equation. The equation which is Amelia is solving for a = 8 is,

$6a = 42$

First, Amelia must substitute 8 for the variable using parentheses as,

$6(8) = 42$

To simplify, Amelia must. multiply 8 by 6.

$48 \neq 42$

The left hand side of the eqqation is not equal to the right hand side. Thus, 8 is not a solution of the equation.

Thus, Amelia must substitute 8 for the variable using parentheses. To simplify, Amelia must multiply 8 by 6. 8 is not a solution of the equation.

The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution. What amount of each solution do

xenn [34]

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = x</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = y</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Total Volume = 10 ml</em>

$\boxed{x + y = 10}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>
