Let x% be the salt concentration of first solution.

Then in 8ml, amount of salt = \frac{8x}{100}

Given that to this 8ml solution, 11ml solution of a 47% salt solution is mixed.

amount of salt in 11ml of 47% salt solution is \frac{11*47}{100} = \frac{517}{100}

So, total amount of salt in new mixture = \frac{8x}{100} +\frac{517}{100} = \frac{8x+517}{100}

But given that this new solution is a 43% salt solution.

Hence amount of salt in new mixture of (8+11)=19ml solution of 43% salt solution is \frac{19*43}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

Hence \frac{8x+517}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

            8x+517 = 817

             8x=817-517 = 300

          x= 300/8 = 37.5

Hence the salt concentration in the first solution is 37.5%

Solve for j - algebra
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

k=57

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 5

k-2=55

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

k=55+2

k=57

(4/x - z/y=0) <br> (10/x+z/y=0)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Some of the other answers are good examples of solving a system of three equations in three unknowns, which is what this problem is asking. Though the simplest way to solve this problem is actually to notice that, if we sum the three equations, we get:

 

   X + Y = 10

   X + Z = 20

+  Y + Z = 24

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

2X + 2Y + 2Z = 54

 

Factoring out the 2, we have 2(X + Y + Z) = 54, and dividing both sides by 2 reveals that X + Y + Z = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully this helps

Find the difference. 7 7/8 - 3 1/4 ?
astraxan [27]
7 7/8= 63/8

3 1/4= 13/4

63/8 -13/4  we bring to the same denominator

(63-26)/8=  37/8
