C) the left side of the equation should be -15 + 3r after distributing.
Answer:
Tash scores 40 baskets
Step-by-step explanation:
Rani = R
Layla = L
Tash = T
R = 4L
T = 4L-8
As L + R + T = 100
L + 4L + 4L-8 = 100
Collect like terms
9L - 8 = 100
+ 8 both sides
9L = 108
divide by 9 both sides
L = 108 / 9
L = 12
Now..... T = 4L-8 substitute L with 12
T = 48 - 8
T = 40
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Wow that's a hard one. Ummm....
