X + y = 20 --> eqn 1
The second equation would be the mass balance shown below:
(x)(0.40) + y(0.70) = 20(0.52) --> eqn 2
Rearranging eqn 1,x = 20 - ySubstitute this to eqn 2:
(20 - y)(0.40) + y(0.70) = 20(0.52)Solve for y,y = 8 grams Finally, solve for x.x = 20 - 8 = 12 grams
Therefore, Serena needs 12 grams of the 40% solution and 8 grams of the 70% solution.

Is 0 an integer ?<br> It wont let me post without making it longer
lina2011 [118]

Yes, it is. You may prove it using something like this: 1 is an integer. 1-1 is a difference between integers. A difference between integers returns an integer, so 0 is an integer.

A country is shaped like a trapezoid. It's northern border is about 9.6 miles across,and the southern border is approximately 25
Nostrana [21]
The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
                       A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
                       A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².
