Answer:
33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations...
Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution
Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution
We need 50 liters total, so
x + y = 50
and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so
0.4x = 0.25y = 0.35(50)
Solve the first equation for one variable...
x = 50 - y (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)
Now substitute that value into the second equation...
0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5 (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)
Now solve for y...
20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5
-0.15y = -2.5
y = 16.66666667
y = 16 2/3 L
So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'
x + 16 2/3 = 50
x = 50 - 16 2/3
x = 33 1/3
Answer: -5
Step-by-step explanation: 19 -9 = 10. 10/-2 = -5
We want to begin with nine, which gives us as follows:
9
Then, we want to subtract:
9 -
And we are subtracting x:
9 - x
The expression is 9 - x for the steps in the image given.
Hope this helps!! :)
Let Jeremy's age be x
if Jeremy's grandfather is four times as old as he is,grandfather's age is 4x
if the sum of their ages is 90, we have
x%2B4x=90
5x=90
x=90%2F5
x=18->Jeremy's age
Jeremy's grandfather will be 4x=4%2A18=72
answer:
D. 72
