\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\
\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)
\end{array}

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus  (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"

7y+3=3x+11 <br> find x and y
kvasek [131]

Answer:

7y + 3 = 3x + 11

7y = 3x + 11 - 3

7y = 3x + 8

y = 3x + 8 / 7

7y + 3 = 3x + 11

7y + 3 - 11 = 3x

7y - 8 = 3x

x = 7y - 8 / 3
