Answer:
The value of x would be or
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain 5% gravel mixture,
Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,
⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),
0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y
0.05x = 0.03y
Now, resultant mixture is z ton,
i.e.
From equation (1),
Substitute x = 3 in any given equations. I will do in y = - x + 1
Therefore the answer is (3,-2)
