Answer:

15 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told

Solution A = 15% of water

Solution B = 20% of water

Let's assume, the entire solution = 100ml

We are told that in the beaker we have 10 ml of Solution A already

Mathematically,

100 ml = 15%

10 ml = X

100ml × X = 15 × 10

X = 150/ 100

X = 1.5%

Hence in the beaker, we have 1.5% of water from Solution A

We are asked to find how many ml of solution B must be added to make the solution have 18% of water

Let y = number of ml of solution B

Hence

10 ml × 15%(0.15) = 1.5 ml of water - Equation 1

y ml × 20%( 0.20) = 0.20y ml of water ...... Equation 2

Add up the above equation

10ml + y ml ×18% (0.18) = 1.5 + 0.20y

(10 + y)(0.18) = 1.5 + 0.20y

1.8 + 0.18y = 1.5 + 0.20y

Collect like terms

1.8 - 1.5  = 0.20y - 0.18y

0.3 = 0.02y

y = 0.3/0.02

y = 15ml                              

Therefore,15mL of solution B must be added to the beaker in order to create a mixture that is 18% water

when two lines intersect one of the angel formed is 82 degrees what would be the measure if the angle vertical to the 82 degree
babymother [125]

Answer:

it would be 98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2 lines inersect it means you create 4 angles. 2 of those angles are the same as well as the other ones so if one is 82 then the angle that counters it is 98

82+98=180

180 degrees equals line
