( * = multiplication/multiply/times ) 
Let x - liters of 10% acid solution needed
4-x = liters of 4% acid solution needed

.1x + .04*(4-x)
-------------------- = .07
           4

.1x + .04*(4-x) = 4*.07
.1x + .16 - .04x = .28
.06x = .12
x=2
4-x=2

2 liters of 10% acid solution are needed
2 liters of 4% acid solution are needed

If you're still uncertain, we can check our work as so: 

.1x + .04*(4-x)
--------------------- = .07
            4

.1 * 2 + .04 * (4-2)
------------------------ = .07
             4

.2 + .08
------------ = .07
     4

.28 = .07 * 4
.28 = .28 

Hope I helped.

Which is greater: 25% of 15 or 15% of 25? Explain your reasoning using algerbreaic representations or visual models
Bingel [31]
25% of 15 is the same as 15% of 25
25%=25/100
25% of 15=(25/100)15=(25*15)/100

15%=15/100
15% of 25=(15/100)25=(25*15)/100

Therefore:
25% of 15=15% of 25
because:
(25/100)15=(15/100)25
(25*15)/100=(25*15)/100

Give two examples of line segments that will make a triangle ?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

If the length of any one side is greater than the sum of the length of the other two, the line segments cannot be used to create a triangle. It is possible to create a triangle using 3 line segments if the sum of the lengths of any two line segments is greater than the length of the third.
