so, let's keep in mind that
so let's make a quick table of those solutions, say A, B, C solutions with x,y,z liters of acid, with an acidity of 0.25, 0.40 and 0.60 respectively.
we know she's using "z" liters and those are 3 times as much as "y" liters, so z = 3y.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
17 x 0.75 =12.75
12.75 + 1.25= 14
Answer:
36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
x/3 + 6 -2x = -6
multiply the whole equation by 3 to get rid of the denominator of the first x term.
x+18-6x = -18
move x terms to one side and numerical terms to the other, subtract 18 from both sides in this case
x+18-6x-18=-18-18
x-6x = -36
simplify
-5x = -36
divide both sides by -5 to isolate x
x = -36/-5
=36/5
