Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
The value of y=29
the value of x=61
Graph 2, Option 4 would be your answer because:
If you substitute 1 into the equation (x), you would get about 212
If you substitute 2, you would get approximately 225
If you substitute 10, you would get approximately 364.
Looking at the graph, your answer would be going up and to the right, the population is getting bigger while the years are increasing as well.
If we substitute 15 into x in the equation, we would get approximately 492.
