50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.
Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.
You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need
7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1
==> 7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)
==> 7.5 = 0.1x + 5
==> 2.5 = 0.1x
==> 2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1
==> x = 25
Answer:
<em>b = 5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
270 solve that yourself lol
The picture below shows the formula for calculating slope
In this example:
y2 = 4
y1 = -4
x2 = 5
x1 = 3
(These are the numbers you substitute into the formula)
Calculations:
4 - (-4) = 8
5 - 3 = 2
8/2 = 4
As you can see, after the values are substituted into the equation & simplified, the slope is equal to 4
