Answer:
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = 20% alcohol
y = 10% alcohol
x + y = 10 (1)
0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)
From (1)
x = 10 - y
Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)
0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1
0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1
2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1
- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2
-0.10y = -0.9
y = -0.9/-0.10
y = 9 gal
substitute y = 9 into (1)
x + y = 10
x + 9 = 10
x = 10 - 9
x = 1 gal
20% alcohol = 1 gal
10% alcohol = 9 gal
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: you just need to find the greatest factors and least multiple then do it to two numbers
X+x²=30
x²+x-30=0
(x+6)(x-5)=0
x=-6 or x=5
