Answer:

Solution for 4x-12=20 equation:

4x - 12 = 20  

4x = 20 + 12  

4x = 32 (divide both sides by 4 to get x)  

4x/4 = 32/4  

x = 8

Answer: x = 8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4x - 12 = 20

<u>     +12 </u>  <u>+12 </u>

4x       =  32

   \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{32}{4}

      x   =  8

Answers:

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Gabe needs 30 liters of the 70% solution

Both answers are 30

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

Explanation:

We have two beakers, each of which we don't know how much is inside. Let's call this x and y

x = amount of liquid in the first beaker (water+acid)

y = amount of liquid in the second beaker (water+acid)

We're told that the beakers have a 50% solution and a 70% solution of acid. This means that the first beaker has 0.5*x liters of pure acid, and the second beaker has 0.7*y liters of pure acid. In total, there is 0.5x+0.7y liters of pure acid when we combine the two beakers. This is out of x+y = 60 liters total, which we can solve for y to get y = 60-x. We will use y = 60-x later on when it comes to the substitution step

We can divide the total amount of pure acid (0.5x+0.7y liters) over the total amount of solution (x+y = 60) to get the following

(0.5x+0.7y)/(x+y) = (0.5x+0.7y)/60

We want this to be equal to 0.6 because Gabe wants a 60% solution when everything is said and done, so

(0.5x+0.7y)/60 = 0.60

0.5x+0.7y = 0.60*60 .... multiply both sides by 60

0.5x+0.7y = 36

0.5x+0.7( y ) = 36

0.5x+0.7(60-x) = 36 ........ replace y with 60-x (substitution step)

0.5x+0.7(60)+0.7(-x) = 36 .... distribute

0.5x+42-0.7x = 36

-0.2x+42 = 36

-0.2x = 36-42 .... subtract 42 from both sides

-0.2x = -6

x = -6/(-0.2) .... divide both sides by -0.2

x = 30

He needs 30 liters of the 50% solution

Use this x value to find y

y = 60-x

y = 60-30

y = 30

So he needs 30 liters of the 70% solution

The product of nine and a number is added to 6, the result is 24. what is the number
Step2247 [10]
So in numbers :   9n + 6 = 24
or 9n = 24 - 6
or 9n = 18
or n = 18/9
so n = 2

Len [333]
N=0 bc you remove the parentheses, cancel the equal terms what would be 6 being cancel it would look like -24n=3n now and move the variable to the left collet like terms and then you will divide the sides. Your answer is 0

I need help with both of these questions please
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

\frac{22}{30} = \frac{11}{15}

and

\frac{176}{7} = 25 \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

First make all the fractions into improper fractions

1\frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{6} \\\\2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \\\\3\frac{1}{7} = \frac{22}{7}

After doing that put them back into the problems

Problem 1)

1\frac{5}{6}  ÷ 2\frac{1}{2} , plug in the improper fractions

\frac{11}{6} ÷ \frac{5}{2}

to divide, you need to flip the second fraction and multiply

\frac{11}{6}· \frac{2}{5} = \frac{22}{30}

then reduce

\frac{22}{30} = \frac{11}{15}

Problem 2)

3\frac{1}{7}÷ \frac{1}{8}\\

Plug in improper fraction

\frac{22}{7} ÷ \frac{1}{8}\\

Then flip second fraction and multiply

\frac{22}{7} · \frac{8}{1}

Multiply

\frac{176}{7}

Reduce, or make it a mixed number

\frac{176}{7} = 25 \frac{1}{7}
