\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{90\% sol'n}&1125&0.9&(1125)0.9\\
\textit{water}&x&0&0x\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&y&0.75&0.75y
\end{array}

so.. whatever "x" is, we know 1125 + x = y
and whatever the alcohol concentration yield may be, we know

(1125)(0.9) = 0.75y

(1125)(0.9) = 0.75y   <--- solve for "y", that's how much the final amount of milliliters will be

how much pure water was added? subtract 1125 from that, or y - 1125

Because 15x-7x= 8x
8x+5x= 13x
13x= -52
-52 / 13= -4
x = -4

Answer:

  ∠A = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of angle A, you need to know the value of the variable x. This means you need some relation that you can solve to find x.

Happily, that relation is "the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°." This means ...

  84° +(x +59)° +(x +51)° = 180°

  (2x + 194)° = 180° . . . collect terms

  2x = -14 . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, and subtract 194

  x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

Now, the measure of angle A is ...

  ∠A = (x +51)° = (-7 +51)°

  ∠A = 44°
