Let x = first number and y = second number.
The first statement is expressed as
x*y = 713
The second statement is expressed as
x = y + 9
To find x, use the second equation in terms of y, that is y = x - 9. Then substituting it to the first equation yields
x*(x - 9) = 713
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
16 loaves of white bread and 24 loaves of wheat bread. = 40 loaves of bread
P( wheat) = number of wheat/ total
= 24/40
=.6
=60%
15 is 16.66666 percent of 90.
Answer:
7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.
x + y = 30
Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5
Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination. I'll use substitution:
x = 30 − y
0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5
3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5
0.20 y = 4.5
y = 22.5
x = 30 − y
x = 7.5
Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.
