Answer: choice A. 40 liters

====================================

Explanation:

x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution

If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).

So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)

0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x

36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x

8 = 0.20x

0.20x = 8

x = 8/0.20

x = 40

So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters

1. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, I'M NOT GOOD IN MATH.<br>explain your work​
pentagon [3]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BDC is a right triangle (If you dont understand I can explain in depth).  Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD.  The pythagorean theorem states that the length of the smaller legs squared = the longest side squared.  So we can set up the equation 9^{2}+x^{2}=15^{2} where x is the length of the missing side (BD).  If we were to solve for x, (I think you should know how to do this but if not I can explain), you get 12
