Answer:

<em><u>Part A: </u></em>(40/100)*x = 1 where x is the total contents of the bottle.

<em><u>Part B</u></em>: 1.5 Liters = the Lemon Juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Let the full contents of the bottle = x

<em><u>Equation</u></em>

Since 60% of it is lemon juice, then 100% - 60% = 40% must be water.

(60/100) * x = ??  Equation for Lemon Juice. You have to solve the water first.

(40/100) * x = 1    Equation for water

Part B

(40/100) * x = 1     change the 40% to a decimal

0.4x = 1                 Divide by 0.4

x = 1/0.4 = 2.5 L

Now to find out the amount of lemon juice

0.6 * 2.5 = Lemon Juice

1.5 L = the amount of Lemon Juice.

Solve the absolute value equation |x| − 2 = 5 to find the distance Mary can walk forward, x, in 5 seconds.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x = 7 m and x = −7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Its a modulus problem

concept

|x|  = x when x>=0

|x| = -x when x < 0

____________________________________

Now given

|x| − 2 = 5

adding 2 both sides

|x| − 2  + 2 = 5 + 2

|x|  = 7

now

x = 7  when x >= 0

x = -7 when x<0

Thus, correct answer is x = 7 m and x = −7 m
