\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of acid}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{liters of acid}}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{15\% acid}&x&0.15&0.15x\\
\textit{33\% acid}&y&0.33&0.33y\\ -----&------&------&------\\
mixture&120&0.21&25.2
\end{array}

\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=120\implies \boxed{y}=120-x\\
0.15x+0.33y=25.2\\
--------------\\
0.15x+0.33\left( \boxed{120-x} \right)=25.2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.15x-0.33+39.6=25.2\implies -0.18x=-14.4
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{-14.4}{-0.18}\implies x=80

how many liters will it be of the 33% acid?  well, y = 120 - x.

Simplify 6 - 3(4 - 3x)<br> -3x - 6<br> 9x + 18<br> 9x - 6
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

6 (19 x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 6×9 x + 18×9 x - 6

-6×9 = -54:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x + -54 x + 18×9 x - 6

18×9 = 162:

6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 54 x + 162 x - 6

Grouping like terms, 6 - 3 (4 - 3 x) - 3 x - 54 x + 162 x - 6 = (-3 x - 54 x + 162 x) - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6):

(-3 x - 54 x + 162 x) - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6)

-3 x - 54 x + 162 x = 105 x:

105 x - 3 (4 - 3 x) + (6 - 6)

6 - 6 = 0:

105 x - 3 (4 - 3 x)

-3 (4 - 3 x) = 9 x - 12:

9 x - 12 + 105 x

Grouping like terms, 105 x + 9 x - 12 = (105 x + 9 x) - 12:

(105 x + 9 x) - 12

105 x + 9 x = 114 x:

114 x - 12

Factor 6 out of 114 x - 12:

Answer: 6 (19 x - 2)

Find 20% of 120. Show work please.
icang [17]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are finding a percent of something, you need to move the decimal over to the left twice in the percentage. Like this:

20% = .20

Then, just multiply that by the number you are trying to find the percent of.

.20 x 120 = 24

What is the quotient?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For dividing rational expressions such as the one given, we use the same concept that we use when dividing fractions.

Thus, we multiply the first expression with the second expression's reciprocal as shown below.

\frac{2m + 4}{8}   \div  \frac{m + 2}{6}

\frac{2(m + 2)}{8}  \times  \frac{6}{m + 2}

We can cancel common factors and simplify the product. Hence, we have

\frac{2(6)}{8}

\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, the quotient of the expressions is equal to 3/2.
