X liters of 10% + (30 - x) liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15% 

<span>Plugging in the numbers </span>
<span>x(10) + (30 - x)22 = 30(15) </span>

<span>Distribute </span>
<span>10x + 660 - 22x = 450 </span>

<span>Combine like terms </span>
<span>-12x = -210 </span>

<span>Divide both sides by -12 </span>
<span>x = 17.5 </span>
<span>30 - x = 12.5 </span>

<span>17.5 liters of 10% + 12.5 liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15%

THE TRICK IS TO JUST USE ONLY ONE VARIABLE</span>

Workers on the assembly line produce 4x + 6 boats each day. Which expression shows how many boats they produced in 12 days?
Annette [7]
We're going to assume that x = # of days.
Plug 12 in as x:
4 × 12 = 48
48 + 6 = 54
They produced 54 boats in 12 days.
