<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{ }

Todd earned some money doing chores. He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. Wh
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: Todd earned $40 mowing the neighbor's lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Todd earned, mowing his neighbor's lawn.

He spent one-fourth of his money see a movie. It means that the amount spent in seeing a movie is x/4

Then he spent $6.00 on popcorn and drinks. It means that the total amount spent is

x/4 + 6

The amount left would be

x - (x/4 + 6) = x - x/4 - 6

When he went home, he had $24.00 left. It means that

x - x/4 - 6 = 24

x - x/4 = 24 + 6

x - x/4 = 30

Cross multiplying by 4, it becomes

4x - x = 120

3x = 120

x = 120/3

x = $40

densk [106]

Answer:

Option C 10+5x=24+3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the cost of each shirt

we know that

The cost of 5 shirts plus $10 (amount of money that would remain) must be equal to the cost of 3 shirts plus $24 (amount of money that would remain). Considering that the cost of the shirts is the same

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

10+5x=24+3x

Solve for x

5x-3x=24-10

2x=14

x=\$7
