Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>first thing first you always need to get x alone and since you have an X on both side we need to move one of them to the same side as the other one.</em></u>

8x-72=2x-36

add 72 on both sides ( the opposite of subtracting is adding)

8x=2x-36+72  

8x=2x+36

then we subtract 2x on both sides to get X alone

8x-2x=36

6x=36

then we divide 36 by 6 to get our answer for x

X= 6

and that's your answer, hope this helped

Answer: x=6

<u>Subtract 2x from both sides</u>

<u></u>8x-72-2x=2x-36-2x\\6x-72=-36<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Add 72 to both sides</u>

<u></u>6x-72+72=-36+72\\6x=36<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide both sides by 6</u>

<u></u>6x/6=36/6\\x=6<u></u>

How much water should be added to 3 gallons of pure acid in order to obtain the 15% acid solution? HELP DUE BY TOMMOROW MORNING
Pani-rosa [81]
3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid

Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.

Solution:

Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons

If the new technology innovation improves the production by 10%, they are increasing the amount of cars made by 10%.

Originally, 120 cars were made per day.

10% of 120 is 12.

Since the amount of cars made per day was increased by 12, we can add 12 to 120 to get 132 cars made per day (as the new unit rate).

The question asks how many cars can be produced in 5 days (after the car production increase). We can get the answer by multiplying our new daily amount of cars by 5: 132 times 5.

132 times 5 = 660

So, 660 cars can be produced in the factory in 5 days.
