False because the solution can be positive too
Sum of an irrational number and a rational number is always irrational. Take for example 1/2 +

. Clearly, 1/2 is rational and its decimal expansion is equal to 0.5, while

is irrational and has a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion. When you add the two, you are obviously going to get a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion, hence the sum is irrational.
so the 5 gallons ones is 40% acid, how much acid solute is in it anyway? well just 40% of 5 or namely 0.4*5 = 2 gallons.
the 3 gallons one is 50%, likewise it has 0.50 * 3 = 1.5 gallons of acid solute in it.

Answer: The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the [number]
<u />
<u>Rephrase the expression</u>
2 times a number is increased by 4, it is the same as 25 decreased by the number
2x+4=25-x
<u>Calculate</u>
Given
2x+4=25-x
Add x on both sides
2x+4+x=25-x+x
3x+4=25
Subtract 4 on both sides
3x+4-4=25-4
3x=21
Divide 3 on both sides
3x/3=21/3
x=7
