Solve the equation. x+7=−8

2 answers:

4 0

X+7=-8
You are trying to get x on its own so you will subtract 7 from both sides.
x+7-7=-8-7
This simplifies to x= -8-7
A negative plus a negative equals a negative. So -8-7 equals -15
Your final answer is x=-15

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with Italian dressing. The Italian dressing contains 12%

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Amount of vinegar. 100% : 20 milliliters

Amount of Italian dressing: 140 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of vinegar. 100%

Let's call B the amount of Italian dressing . 12% vinegar

The resulting mixture should have 23% vinegar, and 160 milliliters.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 160$

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:

$A + 0.12B = 0.23 * 160$

$A + 0.12B = 36.8$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -1 and add it to the second equation:

$-A -B = -160$

$A + 0.12B = 36.8$

--------------------------------------

$-0.88B = -123.2$

$B = \frac{-123.2}{-0.88}$

$B = 140\ milliliters$

We substitute the value of B into one of the two equations and solve for A.

$A + 140 = 160$

$A = 20\ milliliters$
