\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

Jenny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.
