Let x,y denote the volume of the 75% and 90% solutions to use, respectively. We want to end up with a 360L solution, so x+y=360.

We want this new solution to have an 85% concentration so that it would contain 0.85*360L = 306L of antifreeze. The volume of antifreeze contributed by the reagent solutions are 0.75x and 0.9y, and their total should match the new solution's total volume of antifreeze, so that 0.75x+0.9y=306.

Solve this system and you get x=240\,\rm L and y=120\,\rm L.

Answer:

240 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the quantity of 75% antifreeze solution and y be the quantity of 90% antifreeze solution,

Since, the total quantity of the mixture = 360,

⇒ x + y = 360 ----- (1),

Also, the resultant solution is of  85% antifreeze solution,

⇒ 75 % of x + 90% of y = 85% of 360

0.75x + 0.90y = 0.85 × 360

0.75x + 0.90y = 306

75x + 90y = 30600 -----(2),

Equation (2) - 75 × equation (1),

We get,

15y = 3600

⇒ y = 240

Hence, 240 liters of 90% solutions will be used.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

t=7,t=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2t^2-14t+3=3

Subtract 3 from both sides

2t^2 - 14t +3 - 3 = 3-3

Simpilfy

2t^2 -14t = 0

1. (4x-3)(3x^2+8x-5)
lesya [120]
Here, you have to foil the equation. 

Distribute 4x to all sides, then distribute the -3 to all sides. Next, combine like terms. If you do this, your answer will be

12x^3+23x^2-44x+15
