Answer:

20/3  ounces of water is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

how many ounces of pure water should be added to 20 ounces of 40% solution of muriatic acid to obtain a 30% solution of muriatic acid?

--------------

The acid is 40% of 20 ounces = 8 ounces.

0.4*20 = 8

----------

 

That same 8 ounces is to be 30%. The water will be the other 70%.

8/30 = x/100

30x = 800

x = 80/3, the total amount of the solution.

We started with 20, so 80/3 - 20 = 20/3

20/3 ounces of water is added.

(9x−2.25)=(1.6+9x)<br><br> help
mel-nik [20]
Begin solving like you normally would. Add 2.25 to both sides and subtract 9x from both sides to try getting all x values on one side. However, you will find that after subtracting 9x from both sides, all x values go away, and you end with -2.25=1.6. This is not true (-2.25 is not 1.6), so the answer is no solution. There is no value of x which satisfies that equation.

Matthew has 2 dozen eggs. He uses 3/4 of the first dozen and 5/6 of the second dozen for baking.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

5 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, 3/4 of 12 is 9 and 5/6 of 12 is 10. So, 12 - 9 = 3 and 12 - 10 = 2

Therefore, Matthew has 5 eggs left over.

I hope I helped ^^

Can two obtuse angles be complementary
Norma-Jean [14]

Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90 degrees. 

Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees, so there's no way
to add two of them together and get a sum that's smaller than
either one already is. 

The answer to the question is 'No'.
