\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.

For one of the triangular sides, 2.6 x 4 = 10.4 divided by 2 = 5.2
Other triangle; 2.6 x 3 = 7.8 /2 = 3.9
Rectangular side in front; 6.5 x 3 = 19.5
Back; 6.5 x 4 = 26
Base; 6.5 x 2.6 = 16.9
Answer: For the surface area it is 74.6 (SUPER SORRY IF THIS ISNT RIGHT OMG)

The difference between one-fifth of a number and 4 is -75
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Think of this as (1/5)x - 4 = -75, where x is the number that we are trying to figure out. To figure this out, we want to get x by itself, so we can go:

(1/5)x=-71
x=-71*5
x=-355

So your number is -355

The first side of a triangle is twice the length of the second side; the third side is 20 feet less than three times the second
oee [108]
Let the second side be x

then,
first side = twice the length of the second side
= 2x

third side = 20 feet less than three times the second side
3 (second side ) - 20
= 3 (2x) -20
= 6x - 20

perimete of a triangle = sum of all sides,

substitute the values we know,
and you'll be left with this equation

106 = x + 2x + 6x - 20
106+ 20 = 9x
126 = 9x
126/9 = x
14 = x

so,

measure of second side = x = 14 feet

measure of first side = 2x = 2 (14) = 28 feet

measure of thurd side = 6x - 20 = 6 (14)-20 = 84- 20 = 64 feet.
