Answer:

We need 5.7 liters of the 5% volume solution and 4.3 liters of the 40% volume solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V₁ be the volume of the 5% solution required and V₂ be the volume of 40% solution required.

Since mass = concentration × volume, the combined mass of the 5% and 40% volume solution equal the mass of the 10 liter 20% volume solution.

So, 0.05V₁ + 0.4V₂ = 0.2 × 10

0.05V₁ + 0.4V₂ = 2 (1)

Also, the total volume of the solution must equal 10 liters. So,

V₁ + V₂ = 10 (2)

V₁ = 10 - V₂  (3)

substituting (3) into (1), we have

0.05(10 - V₂) + 0.4V₂ = 2

0.5 - 0.05V₂ + 0.4V₂ = 2

collecting like terms, we have

- 0.05V₂ + 0.4V₂ = 2 - 0.5

0.35V₂ = 1.5

dividing through by 0.35, we have

V₂ = 1.5/0.35

V₂ = 4.29

V₂ = 4.3 liters to the nearest tenth of a liter

Substituting V₂ into (3), we have,

V₁ = 10 - 4.3  

V₁ = 5.7 liters

So, we need 5.7 liters of the 5% volume solution and 4.3 liters of the 40% volume solution.

Draw the line of reflection that reflects quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral A'B'C'D'
MArishka [77]

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.

<h3>What is geometric transformation?</h3>

It is defined as the change in coordinates and the shape of the geometrical body. It is also referred to as a two-dimensional transformation. In the geometric transformation, changes in the geometry can be possible by rotation, translation, reflection, and glide translation.

We have a quadrilateral ABCD which is reflected over a line and formed a mirror image A'B'C'D' of the quadrilateral.

From the graph:

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5)

The line equation passing through two points:

[y - 5] = (5+2)/(4+4)[x - 4]

y - 5 = 7/8[x - 4]

8y - 40 = 7x - 28

8y = 7x + 12

Thus, the two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.
