Answer:
The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:
x + y = 45
The concentration of acid of the final solution is:
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
Therefore we have a system of equation:
x + y = 45
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:
-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We now sum both equation:
0.1*x = 2.7
x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons
y = 45 - 27 = 18 gallons
Answer:
x= 1
y= -1
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Substitute y=3x−4 into y=x-2
3x-4=x-2
2 Solve for x in 3x-4=x-2
x=1
3 Substitute x=1 into y=3x-4
y=-1
4 Therefore,
x=1
y=-1
Answer:
16+24=40
Step-by-step explanation: 2x+5(y-1) when x=8 and y=5. put x where it belongs, by the 2 and do the same with y, by the -1. and then slove. 2*8= 16 , 5*5= 25-1, then add 16 and 24 together and get 40.
You should graph it first then post
