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%

Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function
inessss [21]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start with two points that are on the line. We'll use (0, -4) and (4, -3). Now we can use the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - -3)/(0 - 4)

m = -1/-4

m = 1/4

Now that we have this, we can use that slope and a point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -4 = 1/4(x - 0)

y + 4 = 1/4x

y = 1/4x - 4
