A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Pass your phone number u fine I’m joking unless
This is called the Pythagorean theorem : a ² + b ² = c ². You can substitute any of the variable with any of the known numbers and then you all you have to do is isolate the variable. I hope that helps!!
Answer:
82
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be x
If an unknown number is added to 8, this is expressed as;
8 + x
<em>If The sum is then divided by 9 to give the answer 10, then;</em>
<em>(8+x)/9 = 10</em>
<em>Cross multiply</em>
<em>8 + x = 9 * 10</em>
<em>8 + x = 90</em>
<em>x = 90 - 8</em>
<em>x = 82</em>
Hence the unknown number is 82
Answer:
x = 0
