Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8(3-2x) + 4(3x - 2) = -16
expanding the equation , we have
24 - 16x +12x - 8 = -16
16 - 4x = -16
collecting the like terms
4x = 32
x = 32/4
x = 8
Answer:
The answer is ten or Letter C
Step-by-step explanation:
You plug in the values of w and x so you get 3(1/4*8)+4. Multiply whats in the parthensis then distribute the 3 into 2 and get 6. So 6+4=10. Thats the answer for this expression. I hope this helps!
Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution
Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution
