Answer:
x=126
Step-by-step explanation:
X liters of 10% + (30 - x) liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15%
<span>Plugging in the numbers </span>
<span>x(10) + (30 - x)22 = 30(15) </span>
<span>Distribute </span>
<span>10x + 660 - 22x = 450 </span>
<span>Combine like terms </span>
<span>-12x = -210 </span>
<span>Divide both sides by -12 </span>
<span>x = 17.5 </span>
<span>30 - x = 12.5 </span>
<span>17.5 liters of 10% + 12.5 liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15%
THE TRICK IS TO JUST USE ONLY ONE VARIABLE</span>
4x-10=2
add 10 to each side (addition property of equality)
4x-10+10=2+10
simplify
4x = 12
divide by 4 (division property of equality)
4x/4 = 12/4
simplify
x=3
