Answer: d. (17, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

x-3y=8 (1)

5x-4y=5 (2)

Isolating x from (1):

x=\frac{8+3y}{4} (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

5(\frac{8+3y}{4})-4y=5 (4)

Isolating y:

\frac{40}{4}+\frac{15 y}{4}-4y=5 (5)

10-5=4y-\frac{15 y}{4} (6)

y=20 (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

x-3(20)=8 (8)

Isolating x:

x=17 (9)

Hence, the correct option is d. (17, 20)

You need 320 mL of a 85% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 60% alcohol mixture. How much of the 60% alcohol mixture and pure
Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = the amount of 5% solution and y = the amount of pure alcohol, we can set up that

.05x+y is the amount of alcohol in our resulting mixture, and x+y is the total amount in our resulting mixture (which we know is 380)

so we also know that:

(.05x+y)/380 = .6

If we simplify this we come up with:

.05x+y=228

and we know x+y=380

If we solve this as a system of equations, we will find that:

x=160 ml

y=220 ml

How do you work out 5/6y-2=8
aliya0001 [1]
5/6y-2=8
       +2  +2
Add the reciprocal to cancel out the twos andd 8+2=10
so you have left 5/6y=10 and you'll take the reciprocal of 5 divided by 6 times five and cancels the 5/ out and also multiply 10*5 and you're left with 6y=50 then you just divide by six and there you go you have y=12

hope this helped
