Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
The main reason behind this is using properties of logarithm .

when solving
There you use multiplication property and make addition to multiplication then you get extraneous solution because in plenty of cases they occur

But
Same happens in case of logarithm

Step-by-step explanation:
*Note:
<em>Remember that for the Area of a Region, it is top function minus bottom function.</em>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = x²
g(x) = x⁶
Bounded (Partitioned) by x-axis
<u>Step 2: Identify Bounds of Integration</u>
<em>Find where the functions intersect (x-values) to determine the bounds of integration.</em>
Simply graph the functions to see where the functions intersect (See Graph Attachment).
Interval: [-1, 1]
Lower bound: -1
Upper Bound: 1
<u>Step 3: Find Area of Region</u>
<em>Integration</em>
- Substitute in variables [Area of a Region Formula]:

First you distribute the six
-138>-36b+42
Then you subtract 42
-180>-36b
Next, you divide by -36 and since you are dividing by a negative, you turn the sign around
