Answer: NP = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal.

If the length of the longer side is MN, it means that the length of the two opposite longer sides is 2MN.

If the length of the shorter side is NP, it means that the length of the two opposite shorter sides is 2NP.

The perimeter is 2MN + 2NP

If the perimeter of MNPQ is 68 inches, it means that

2MN + 2NP = 68- - - - - - - - - - - -1

In parallelogram MNPQ, side MN is seven inches longer than twice the length of side NP. It means that

MN = 2NP + 7- - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes

2(2NP + 7) + 2NP = 68

4NP + 14 + 2NP = 68

4NP + 2NP = 68 - 14

6NP = 54

NP = 54/6

NP = 9 inches

How much 20% solution needs to be added to a 60% solution to make 400 ml of a 40% solution
Scorpion4ik [409]

Let x be the volume of 20% solution, y the volume of the 60% solution. We want a total volume of 400 mL in the final mixture, so

x+y=400

Each mL of either solution will contribute a corresponding concentration, and in the final mixture we want the 400 mL to have a 40% concentration, which means we should also have

0.2x+0.6y=0.4\times400=160

Solve the system and we get x=y=200\,\rm{mL}.
