8 litres (amount of 20% solution needed) and 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let consider ‘x’ for 20% acid solution and (15 – x) for 50% acid solution. And so, the equation would be as below,
20% in x + 50% in (15 – x) = 15 litres of 34%
Convert percentage values, we get
0.20(x) + 0.50 (15 – x) = 15 (0.34)
0.20 x + 7.5 – 0.50 x = 5.1
-0.3 x + 7.5 = 5.1
0.3 x = 7.5 – 5.1
0.3 x = 2.4
Apply ‘x = 8’ value in (15 – x) we get,
15 – 8 = 7 litres
The value of 7 litres for (amount of 50% solution needed)
Hello!
Remember that the symbols: ≤ and ≥ are graphed as a solid line. While the symbols: < and > are graphed as a dotted line.
Also, before graphing, it would be better to convert both equations to slope-intercept form.
y ≤ x + 1 is already in slope-intercept form.
y + x ≤ -1 is not written in slope-intercept form. (Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b)
y + x ≤ - 1 (subtract x from both sides)
y ≤ -x - 1
Graphing those lines, you get the graph below. You can see that Part C best represents the solution set systems of inequalities, because that is where both of the shaded lines intersect.
Answer: Part C
