Answer:
The amount of water must be added to this task = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount of water added = x
Then from the given conditions
A chemist would like to dilute a 90-cc solution that is 5% acid to one that is 3% acid. So
90 (0.05) = 0.03 ( 90 + x )
4.5 = 2.7 + 0.03 x
0.03 x = 1.8
x = 60
Therefore the amount of water must be added to this task = 60
Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Given data
Le the first number be x
and the second number be y
So
x*y= 10-----------------1
and
x+y= 7-----------------2
from eqn 1
x= 10/y
put x= 10/y in eqn 2
cross multiply we have
rearrange
the factors of the quadratic expression are
-5 and -2
The longest side is 5 units
