Answer:
7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.
x + y = 30
Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25
0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5
Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination. I'll use substitution:
x = 30 − y
0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5
3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5
0.20 y = 4.5
y = 22.5
x = 30 − y
x = 7.5
Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.
Answer:
472 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the meaning of "one, and one more". That does not mean zero (1-1). Rather, it means two (1+1).
__
Then 3/4 and 472 more is ...

Eric has 472 3/4 buckets filled with sand.
_____
The problem statement here seems to be focused on the filled buckets, rather than the sand stockpile that Eric is working from. The amount in that stockpile is being reduced by the amount that is being used to fill buckets. In short, whether you add or subtract depends on what you're trying to figure.
They are x = 8 and x = -4
