Answer:
x = 7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 2 = x + 3 + 2
4x - 2 = x + 5
Rearranging the terms, we get,
4x - x = 5 + 2
3x = 7
x = 7/3
Hence, x = 7/3.
Answer:
x/y=1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=3y-2
3x=3y-2y-2
3x=y-2
y=3x+2
x+y=10
x+3x+2=10
4x+2=10
4x=10-2
4x=8
x=8/4
x=2
2+y=10
y=10-2
y=8
x/y=2/8=1/4
Answer:
20/3 ounces of water is added.
Step-by-step explanation:
how many ounces of pure water should be added to 20 ounces of 40% solution of muriatic acid to obtain a 30% solution of muriatic acid?
--------------
The acid is 40% of 20 ounces = 8 ounces.
0.4*20 = 8
----------
That same 8 ounces is to be 30%. The water will be the other 70%.
8/30 = x/100
30x = 800
x = 80/3, the total amount of the solution.
We started with 20, so 80/3 - 20 = 20/3
20/3 ounces of water is added.
The answer to this problem is -0.66666
