if you have to add it is 17
if you have to divide it is 1.5
if you have to subtract it is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 6 2/3 qt 80%
- 13 1/3 qt 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.
__
We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...
0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)
0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify
x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution
(20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed
The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.
Answer:
it would help if we could see it
There are a few ways to solve this. The method I will use is the substitution method. Since they give us a "y = " statement, we can replace the y in the second equation with what it gives us to the right of the equal sign.
- 3x + 6(- 2x - 1) = 24
Simplify by using the distributive property.
- 3x + 6(- 2x) + 6(- 1) = 24
- 3x - 12x - 6 = 24.
Combine like terms
- 15x - 6 = 24
Add 6 to each side.
- 15x = 30
Divide both sides by - 15 to isolate variable X
x = 30 / - 15
x = - 2.
Now plug in the x-value we've found back into the first equation.
y = - 2( - 2) - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
Your answer is (- 2, 3)
