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.

-4x/7 > 10

Multiply both sides by 7:

-4x > 70

Divide both sides by -4"

x > 70 / -4

Simplify the fraction:

70/-4 = 35 / -2


Because the fraction is negative you need to reverse the inequality sign:

x < -35/2


The answer is the first one: {x|x < -35/2}

3x+y=1/3<br> 2x-3y=8/3<br><br> Solve the system of linear equation using any method.
krek1111 [17]
3x + 1y = ¹/₃   ⇒ 9x + 3y = 1
2x -  3y = 2²/₃ ⇒ 2x -  3y = 2²/₃
                                 11x = 3²/₃
                                  11     11
                                     x = ¹/₃
                             3x + y = ¹/₃
                         3(¹/₃) + y = ¹/₃
                               1 + y = ¹/₃
                             - 1        - 1
                                     y = ⁻²/₃
                              (x, y) = (¹/₃, ⁻²/₃)
