Answer:
The answer to your question is below.
Step-by-step explanation:
14.- Use proportions to solve these problems.
14(x + 6) = 10(x + 9)
14x + 84 = 10x + 90
14x - 10x = 90 - 84
4x = 6
x = 6/4
x = 3/2
15.-
10(x - 1) = 8(x + 2)
10x - 10 = 8x + 16
10x - 8x = 16 + 10
2x = 26
x = 26 / 2
x = 13
16.-
5(x + 1) = 9(10/3)
5x + 5 = 30
5x = 30 - 5
5x = 25
x = 25 / 5
x = 5
Answer:
20 gallons of the 40% solution, 60 gallons of the 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the gallons of the 40% solution, and y = the gallons of a 80% solution. The first thing we want to do here is to convert each percentage into decimal form - including the 70% solution mixture.
40% = 0.40,
80% = 0.80, respectively 70% = 0.70
As you can tell, 0.40 is associated with x gallons, 0.80 is associated with y gallons, and the mixture contains 0.70 80 solution, as 0.70 is associated with 80. Therefore we can formulate the following expression,
0.40x + 0.80y = 0.70 80
At the same time x + y = 80, as the solution ( mixture ) is present with 80 gallons. Isolating x, x = 80 - y. Let us plug that into our expression, solving for y, following by x gallons.
( Multiply either side by 10 )
( Expand )
( Substitute to solve for x )
As you can see there are 20 gallons of the 40% solution, and 60 gallons of the 80% solution.
