Answer:

Let x be the number of gallons of the 20% solution and let y be the number of gallons of the 5% solution.

Your system would be:

x+y=15

0.2x+0.05y=(0.13)(15)

Solve the system using either elimination or substitution method, or a combination of the two.

What equation do you get when you solve z-m=z+bx for x?

Nimfa-mama [501]

X = -m/b.
Subtract z from both side and you get
-m= bx
Now divide both side by b and you get
-m/b= x

Rly need help with this perimeter problem to find perimeter of shaded section! pls give full explanation. ignore notes

stepladder [879]

Well if finding the area of a shape would be multiplying the 2 sides due to the given information that both shaded sides equal to 50, that means 50x50 which is 2500
