A scientist needs 60 liters of a 60% acid solution. He currently has a 40% solution and a 70% solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 60 liters of 60% acid solution?

----------------

Equation:

acid + acid = acid

----------------------

0.40x + 0.70(60-x) = 0.60*60

-----

40x + 70*60 - 70x = 60*60

 

-----

-30x = -10*60

x = 20 liters

----

Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.

He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.

Solve the following using substitution method
Wewaii [24]

Solution :

2a + 2b = 7    ...1)

4a + 3b = 12   ...2)

In equation, 1)

a = (7 - 2b)/2   ...3)

Putting value of a in equation 2) we get :

4 × (7 - 2b)/2  + 3b = 12

2( 7 - 2b ) + 3b = 12

14 - 4b + 3b = 12

b = 2

Putting value of b in 3) we get :

a = ( 7 - 2×2)/2

a = 3/2 = 1.5

Now,

2x - 3y = 16   ...5)

x + 2y = -6    ...6)

x = -6 - 2y

Putting above value of x in eq 5) , we get :

2( -6 - 2y ) - 3y = 16

-12 - 4y - 3y = 16

7y = -28

y = -4

x = -6 - ( 2× -4 )

x = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which system of equations has the same solution as the system below?
worty [1.4K]

Answer: Both A, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the first system of equations (2x+2y=16) would be

x=3 and y=5 ( 3x-y=4 )

Which means we have to find out which of the other equations has an x value of 3, and a y value of 5.

If A is 2x+2y=16, then x=3 and y=5

           6x-2y=8

If B is x+y=16, then x=5 and y=11

         3x-y=4

If C is 2x+2y=16, then x=3 and y=5

           6x-2y=8

If D is 6x+6y=48 , then x=-2 and y=10

            6x+2y=8

Both A and C are equal to the first system of equations, which means they are both correct answers.
