Answer:

20 liters of the 40% solution

60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

40%x+70%(60-x)=60%(60)

0.4x+0.7(60-x)=0.6(60)

0.4x+42-0.7x=36

-0.3x+42=36

-0.3x=-42+36

-0.3x=-6

0.3x=6

3x=60

x=60/3

x=20 liters of the 40% solution

60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution

check: 0.4*20=8

0.7*40=28

8+28=36 and 0.6*60=36 also

mash [69]
Since we aren't told the length of the 3rd bar, focus solely on the lengths of the first 2 bars.  Add together their lengths:  1.15 cm + 3.92 cm = 5.07 cm.

Simplify f+g / f-g when f(x)= x-4 / x+9 and g(x)= x-9 / x+4
steposvetlana [31]

f(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9};\ g(x)=\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}\\\\f(x)+g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}+\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)+(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2+x^2-9^2}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-16-81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\f(x)-g(x)=\dfrac{x-4}{x+9}-\dfrac{x-9}{x+4}=\dfrac{(x-4)(x+4)-(x-9)(x+9)}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-4^2-(x^2-9^2)}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{x^2-16-x^2+81}{(x+9)(x+4)}=\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}


\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=(f+g):(f-g)=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}:\dfrac{65}{(x+9)(x+4)}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{(x+9)(x+4)}\cdot\dfrac{(x+9)(x+4)}{65}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\dfrac{f+g}{f-g}=\dfrac{2x^2-97}{65}}
