Total = 36oz
Amount of 18% solution = x
Amount of 9% solution = 36 - x

Using the fact that (amount of solution) * (percent HCl) = amount HCl we can set up an expression for the amount HCl in a mixture of 18% and 9% solutions with a total volume of 36oz.

Amount of HCl = x*0.18 + (36 - x)*0.09

If we divide this by the amount of solution we get percent HCl, and we have a target of 10% HCl. Now we have an equation to solve,

[x*0.18 + (36 - x)*0.09]/36 = 0.1

x*0.09 + 3.24 = 3.6

.09x = 0.36
x = 4

Therefore,
4 ounces of 18% HCl solution and 32 ounces of 9% HCl solution

Check:
[(4*.18) + (.09*32)]/36 = 0.1?
0.1 = 0.1   Yes.

8z-13=7 what's the number that replaces z
Goshia [24]
All you do is solve for z. So 8z-13=7. To solve for a variable you have to do the opposite to cancel out the numbers on each side. First you add 13 over to 7 to cancel out 13 on the z side. So 8z=20 is what you have left. Then you divide 8 on both sides to cancel out 8 on the z side. what you are left with is z=2.5. Lastly you plug and check. 8(2.5) - 13 = 7, 20-13=7. And thats correct so z is 2.5.

The lid for a circular plastic food container has a diameter of 9 cm.
Levart [38]
If the diameter is 9 cm the radius is 4.5 cm (half the diameter).  The area of a circle is given by the formula:  4πr^2, where π is the constant ratio of circumference to diameter (3.14159...).

3.14 cm x 4.5 cm = 14.13 cm^2.  Remember, the units must be squared to represent area.  14.13 is extended to the nearest hundredth.
