Answer:

  • 26 ounces of 55% solution
  • 104 ounces of 80% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...

  0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130

  0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)

  x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104

  130-x = 26

She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.

Solve 9-3(x+4)=2(x-3)-8<br> A)3<br> B)2.5<br> C)-2.5<br> D)-4
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

x=11/5, or x=2.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

9-3(x+4)=2(x-3)-8

9-3x-12=2x-6-8

9-12-3x=2x-14

-3-3x=2x-14

-3-3x-2x=-14

-3-5x=-14

5x=-3-(-14)

5x=-3+14

5x=11

x=11/5

x=2.2
