Hey!
Hope this helps...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...
A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66
Does 33+66 look like 36+63?
NO
B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63
Does 36+63 look like 36+63?
YES
C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55
Does 44+55 look like 36+63?
NO
D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54
Does 45+54 look like 36+63?
NO
So...
The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)
Answer:
120 liters of 60% alcohol solution is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume
x liters of 60% alcohol solution is added
so, we get solution as


we are given
40 liters of a 20% alcohol solution is



so, total alcohol solution is

now, we can find total solutions
total solutions is

now, it is making 50% solution
so, we get

now, we can solve for x




So,
120 liters of 60% alcohol solution is needed
5
The reason is because |-5| is equal to 5. The absolute value bars make the number positive.
