13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Total mass of acid required= 85 ounces

Let the mass of 72% acid be 'a'

Let the mass of 25% acid be 'b'

a + b = 85

b = 85-a

85(40/100) = a(72/100) + b(25/100)

85(2/5) = a(72/100) +(85- a) (25/100)

34 = (72a/100) + (2125/100) - (25a/100)

34 - (2125/100) = (72a + 25a) /100

(3400-2125)/100 = 97a /100

97a = 1275

a =  13.15 ounces

b = 85 - 13.14

b = 71.85 ounces

13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

plz help doing test rn i need it
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

|answer|  \\ 1)0=0 \\ 2)0=28

3)The example equation becomes "x + 10 - 15x = 20," which is then "-14 x + 10 = 20." Subtract 10 from each side, divide by 14 and you have end up with x = -10/14, which simplifies to x = -5/7. Plug in the x value in to the first equation to find out the y value. y = 2 - 3(-5/7) becomes 2 + 15/7, which is 29/7.
