Answer:

x = 13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x - 1) = 40

Distribute

12x -12 = 40

Add 12 to each side

12x-12+12 = 40+12

12x = 52

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 =52/12

x =13/3

Answer:

around 2.67 (decimal form)

\frac{8}{3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

12( x - 1 ) = 40 (given)

12x - 12 = 40 (distribute)

12x - 12 + 12 = 40 + 12 (add 12 both sides)

12x = 40 + 12 (cancel 12 left side)

52 (combine like terms)

12x = 52/12 (divide 12 both side)

x = 8/3 (answer)

Around 2.67 just in case questions ask for roundings...

Ming wants to make a 40% sugar solution. She had already poured 3 L of a 80% sugar solution into a beaker. How many L of a 10% s
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3 L = 80%

1.5 L should = 40% (since it is half of 80%)

and if 40 divided by 4 = 10%

1.5 also needs to be divided by 4

so 1.5 divided by 4 = 0.375

that means Ming must add 0.375 L of a 10% sugar solution
