Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.
<h3>
How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>
First, we need to define the variables:
- x = liters of the 35% acid used.
- y = liters of the 80% acid used.
We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:
x + y = 60
x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).
To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:
x = 60 - y
Replacing that in the other equation:
(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)
y*0.45 = 60*0.30
y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40
So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

If this is a true or false question, it’s false because 2/10 + 7 ≠ 10. the correct inequality would be 2/10 + 7 = 12.
75% = 3/4
3/4 of 180 = 135
Answer:
The slope is .075 and the y intercept is -.125
Step-by-step explanation:
8y = .2(3x -5)
Distribute the .2
8y = .6x - 1
Divide by 8
8y/8 = .6x/8 -1/8
y = .075x -.125
This is in slope intercept form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope is .075 and the y intercept is -.125
If you’re looking for x it would be -4/3
