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>

Which linear equation best represents the data given in the table?
kirill115 [55]

Linear equations are equations that have constant slopes

The linear equation that represents the table is (a) y = 7x +4

<h3>How to determine the linear equation</h3>

Start by calculating the slope (m) using:

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

So, we have:

m = \frac{-10 +17}{-2 +3}

Simplify

m = \frac{7}{1}

m = 7

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x -x_1) + y_1

So, we have:

y = 7(x +2) -10

Open the brackets

y = 7x +14 -10

y = 7x +4

Hence, the linear equation that represents the table is (a) y = 7x +4
