\boxed{{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{.86 quartz}}}  of 30\%  antifreeze replaced by pure antifreeze to maintain 50\%  antifreeze in the radiator.

Further explanation:

Given:

It is given that radiator contains 30\%  antifreeze and the radiator holds 10 quartz.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

Consider x  as the number of quartz of pure antifreeze that is replaced by x  number of quartz of Mr. Gittleboro’s radiator to maintain the level of 50\% antifreeze in the radiator.

It is given that radiator contains 30\%  antifreeze and the radiator holds 10 quartz.

The amount of 30\%  antifreeze radiator after drained off x{\text{ quartz}}  is \left({10-x}\right){\text{quartz}} .

The radiator only holds {\text{10 quartz}} .

The amount of final antifreeze radiator 50\%  antifreeze is {\text{10 quartz}} .

Step 2:

The equation for maintain the level of 50\%  antifreeze in the radiator by replacing the x  number of quartz of 30\%  antifreeze by pure antifreeze as,

\begin{aligned}30\%{\text{ of}}\left({10-x}\right)+100\% {\text{ of }}x&=50\% {\text{ of 10}}\\\frac{{30}}{{100}}\times\left({10-x}\right)+\frac{{100}}{{100}}{\text{}}\times{\text{}}x&=\frac{{50{\text{ }}}}{{100}}\times{\text{10}}\\{\text{30}}\left({10-x}\right)+100x&=500\\\end{aligned}

Now simplify the further equation using the distributive property.

\begin{aligned}{\text{30}}\left({10-x}\right)+100x&=500\\300-30x+100x&=500\\300+70x&=500\\70x&=500-300\\\end{aligned}

Now simplify the further equation to obtain the value of x .

\begin{aligned}70x&=500-300\hfill\\70x&=200\hfill\\x&=\frac{{200}}{{70}}\hfill\\x&=2.85714\approx 2.86{\text{ quartz}}\hfill\\\end{aligned}

Therefore, 2.86{\text{ quartz}}  of 30\%  antifreeze replaced by pure antifreeze to maintain 50\%  antifreeze in the radiator.

Answer:

2.86 quarts ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial quantity of the Mr. Gittleboro's radiator that contains 30% antifreeze = 10 quarts,

Let x quarts of pure antifreeze replaced x quarts of Mr. Gittleboro's radiator to bring it up to a required 50% antifreeze,

So, the quantity of 30% antifreeze radiator after drained off x quarts = (10-x) quarts

Also, the quantity of final antifreeze radiator 50% antifreeze = 10 quarts

Thus, we can write,

30% of (10-x) + 100% of x = 50% of 10

30(10-x) + 100x = 500

300 - 30x + 100x = 500

300 + 70x = 500

70x = 200

x = 2.85714285714 quarts ≈ 2.86 quarts

How do you solve this?

So u have to add all the sides up.
which will give you 6 + 6√3 + 6 +6√3
because their opposite and parallel lengths and widths are equal
that gives you 12 + 12√3
so ans is 12m + 12√3m

Hi! I know this is not the correct way to ask a question, but may someone explain how to do the Division Property of Equality an
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the division property states that if both sides of an equation are equal and whenever you divide both sides of that equation by the same number they should stay equal. Example

12=12 right? so if I divide both 12 and 12 by 3 I should get 3=3

We use this to solve for variable such as x

So new example lets take

5x=25

Since both sides are equal I can divide by the same number and should get an equal number right? So lets divide by 5 on both sides. 5x divided by 5 equals x and 25 divided by 5 equals 5 so my new equation is

x equals 5 or x=5.

If I plug my x=5 back into the equation they should be equal so lets see...

5(5)=25

25=25

And it checks out :)
