How much pure water must be mixed with 10 liters of a 25% acid solution to reduce it to a 10% acid solution?

Suppose you add x liters of pure water to the 10 L of 25% acid solution. The new solution's volume is x + 10 L. Each L of pure water contributes no acid, while the starting solution contains 2.5 L of acid. So in the new solution, you end up with a concentration of (2.5 L)/(x + 10 L), and you want this concentration to be 10%. So we have

\dfrac{2.5}{x+10}=0.1\implies25=x+10\implies x=15

and so you would need to add 15 L of pure water to get the desired concentration of acid.

How do you find the x and y intercepts of x^2+x-2/x^2-3x-4?
melomori [17]
First equal the equation to f(x) or y 

f(x)= (x²+x-2)÷(x²-3x-4) 

To find y-intercept, x coordinates have to be 0 

f(0)=(0²+0-2)÷(0²-3(0)-4) 
f(0)=-2/-4
f(0)=1/2 (y-intercept)

To find x-intercept, make y=0 

0=(x²+x-2)÷(x²-3x-4) 
0((x²-3x-4)=(x²+x-2) 
0=x²+x-2 
0=(x-1)(x+2) 
x-1

x-1=0 
x=1 

x+2=0 
x=-2 

The x-intercepts would be 1, -2 

Hope I helped :)
