THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
5 classes - 2 bass classes and 3 viola classes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the greatest common factor (GCF)
List the factors of 20 and 30:
20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The greatest factor that both numbers share is 10.
Therefore, there are 10 students in each class. So, she teaches 2 bass classes and 3 violas classes.
hope this helps! <3
The function that best represents the data is y = 0.75x + 4.5. The slope in this case represents the increase in the amount she spends in $ due to the number of cards she makes. The intercept with the Y axis (4.5) means that she has an expense of 4.5 $ without having made any card yet.
