2(b+3) = 2
2b + 6 = 2 ( -6 )
2b = -4 ( / 2)
b = -2
Regroup terms
2(x + 2) = 1
Divided both sides by 2
x + 2 = 1/2
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 2
Simplify 1/2 - 2 to -3/2
<u>x = -3/2</u>
Answer:
1.60 L of 10% solution
0.40 L of 35% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = amount of 10% saline solution, and y = amount of 35% saline solution, then:
x + y = 2
0.10x + 0.35y = 0.15(2)
Solve with substitution:
0.10x + 0.35(2 − x) = 0.15(2)
0.10x + 0.70 − 0.35x = 0.30
0.40 = 0.25x
x = 1.60
y = 0.40
A = LW
Divide both sides by L (To isolate W)
W =
