THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
19.8
Step-by-step explanation:
99/5= 19.8
<span>There is a formula for a loan : A = P * r * ( r + 1 ) ^n / (( r + 1 ) ^n - 1 ), where P is the loan and A is the monthly payment. So P = $4,250 and r = 0.1325 : 12 = 0.011. ( 13.25 % = 0.1325 and we divide it by 12, because the interest is compounded monthly ). A = 4,250 * 0.011 * 1.011^(24) / ( 1.011^(24) - 1 ) = 4,250 * 0.11 * 1.3 / 0.3 = 4,250 * 0.0477; A = $202.55. Finally we have to multiply this sum by 24 : the total finance charge: $202.55 * 24 = $ 4,861.20. Answer: D ) $4,861.20 </span>
I think you would put 570 in the blank since 19 x 3 = 57
