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.

The levels of mercury in two different bodies of water are rising. In one body of water the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 p
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find y which is the heat in which the amount of mercury in each of the water bodies is same.

Now for the first water body:

Initial is 0.05 ppb and after y years, we have a rise of 0.1 * y = 0.1y ppb

So the amount of mercury in ppb after y years would be; 0.05 + 0.1y

For the second water body;

Initial is 0.12 and a rise of 0.06 ppb per year for y years. The rise would be 0.06 * y = 0.06y

So total amount of mercury here is 0.12 + 0.06y

So to find y which is the year the amount of mercury in each water body is same, we simple equate both and that would be;

0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Hi, I need help with this: What are the four steps for solving an equation? Should any other factors be accounted for when solvi
anygoal [31]
There are no easy four steps in solving an equation. In fact it involves a lot of assessment and knowledge from the past and the current in order to make a solution for the problem. It is like solving a puzzle which may or may not contain what you already know. Here are a summarized four steps in solving an equation.

1) Clear out any fractions in the equation by multiplying each term by the highest common denominator to simplify the equation. Add or subtract other values to make it even more simplified.
2) If there is a common divisor in the equation, divide each term by the value to simplify it more.
3) Combine like terms by either cancelling or transposing terms. Factor out anything that can be factored (as long as it is simplified, the better)
4) Recognize a pattern and use different techniques, whether algebraic or trigonometric or other functions like squaring both sides. 

You'll be able to find more ways along the journey so I hope this helped you get started!
