<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

  • <em>Elimination Method</em>
  • <em>Substitution Method</em>
  • <em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<em>Let:</em>

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = x</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = y</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>Total Volume = 10 ml</em>

\boxed{x + y = 10} → <em>Equation 1</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution</em>.

2 \% x + 10 \% y = 6 \% (10)

2x + 10y = 6(10)

\boxed{x + 5y = 30} → <em>Equation 2</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>Equation 1 - Equation 2:</em>

( x + y ) - ( x + 5y ) = 10 - 30

-4y = -20

y = -20 \div -4

y = 5 \texttt{ ml}

\texttt{ }

x + y = 10

x + 5 = 10

x = 5 \texttt{ ml}

\texttt{ }

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

\texttt{ }

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is not factorable, let's just complete the square:

x^2+6x=19\\x^2+6x+9=28\\(x+3)^2=28\\x+3=\sqrt{28}\\x=2\sqrt{7}-3
