Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
  0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
  0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
  0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
  x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
  (420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
  105 liters of 30% solution
  315 liters of 50% solution

Which answer best describes the solution to the equation
german
Let's check
3m - 9 = 9+3m
collect like terms
3m -3m = 9 + 9
0m = 18
which is not possible, so it will not have any solutions

I need an equation that has variables on both sides were x = 17
Andrei [34K]

3 (3 + x) = 5x - 25

9 + 3x = 5x - 25

Add 25 to each side

34 + 3x = 5x

Subtract 3x from each side

34 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

17 = x

A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w)=24
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%
