First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21. 

                                           x - 5 = 21      ; x = 26

Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.

What is the value of x, the acid concentration of the first solution?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

A) 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's summarize into an equation the information we can get from that table.

We have 4 liters of an acid of an unknown concentration, let's call it (4x).

We have 10 liters of an acid with known concentration of 0.40.

And we have a total of 14 liters overall with a concentration of 0.3o.

That's like a weighted average formula: 4x + 10 y = 14z  

Let's replace the concentration values we know and solve this:

4x + 10 (0.4) = 14 * 0.3  

4x + 4 = 4.2

4x = 0.2

x = 0.05

So, the concentration of the 4 liters of acid on concentration X are in fact of concentration of 0.05.
