Write a rational equation that relates the desired percentage p, to the amount A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid, where 0<p<100 . What is a reasonable restriction on the set of possible values of ? Explain your answer.
Answer:
100(0.1 + 0.3A)= (1 + A) P
Step-by-step explanation:
A of a 30% solution that needs to be added to 1 liter of 10% acid solution to make a blend that is p% acid,
Hence,
10% of 1 + 30% of A = p%(1 + A)
0.10 + 0.3A = (p/100)(1 + A)
Divide both sides by 1 + A
0.1 + 0.3A/ 1 + A = p/100
Cross Multiply
100(0.1 + 0.3A) = 1 + A(p)
From the above calculation, we can see that, the blend that would be formed is not lower than 10% or greater than 30%
10% < p< 30%

Also, this question seems like an elementary school question, not a high school question, so why does it say that you are in high school?
To solve this system by substitution, we must substitute in the value we are given for x in terms of y (the first equation) into the second equation. This is modeled below:
x = -8y - 15
2x + 5y = -8
2 (-8y - 15) + 5y = -8
Now, we should solve this new equation for y. To begin, we should use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses on the left side of the equation and begin the simplification process.
-16y - 30 + 5y = -8
Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding together the two terms that both contain the variable y.
-11y - 30 = -8
Next, we should add 30 to both sides in order to move all of the constant (number) terms to the left side of the equation.
-11y = 22
After that, we should divide both sides of the equation by -11 in order to get the variable y alone.
y = -2
Now, we can substitute our value for y back into one of our original equations (it doesn't matter which one you choose; they will yield the same answer).
x = -8y - 15
x = -8(-2) - 15
To simplify, we should following the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS and compute the multiplication and then the subtraction.
x = 16 - 15
x = 1
Therefore, the answer to the system is x = 1 and y = -2, or (1,-2) when written as an ordered pair.

Answer: w = -3u/2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3
-12u + 16 = 8w
w = -3u/2 + 2
