The second box ix the answer
Work=speed times time (my equation to help me figure it out)
ok, 10 men take 84 days to complete a job
therefor, each man completes 1/10 of the job in 84 days
each man does 1/840 of the job per 1 day
so, if we had 5 more, or 15 men
15 times 1/840 times xdays=1 job complete
15/840 times xdays=1job
times both sides by 840/15
xdays=840/15
xdays=56
56 days it would take
Add 3x and 14. =17x hope this helps
Answer:
She uses 200 milliliters of solution B
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that there are two unknowns in this problem: 1) the amount of solution A that is being used, and 2) the amount of solution B being used. We can name such unknowns with letters to facilitate our work:
Amount of solution A to be used = A
Amount of solution B to be used = B
So, since we need to find two unknowns, we need to create a system of two equations to solve them.
Our first equation can be obtained from the sentence: "She uses twice as much Solution A as Solution B," which written in mathematical form is:
A = 2 B
The second equation we can build from the information of the amount of alcohol in each solution that combined will add up to 104 milliliters of alcohol in the mixture. Knowing the percent of alcohol in each solution, we can write an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.19 A + 0.14 B = 104
Now we can use our first equation to substitute A in terms of B in the second equation:
0.19 (2 B) + 0.14 B = 104
0.38 B + 0.14 B = 104
0.52 B = 104
B = 104 / 0.52
B = 200 milliliters
