The answer is:
x=-8
Because:
If you pick a number(-8) to fill in the equation written below
5x+20+5x=5x-20
After applying the -8 to x you get
-40+20-40=-40-20
When you simply the both sides you get
-60=-60
And that’s right -60 is equal to -60!
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
complement means not choosing an orange
P( not choosing orange) = (apple and fruit) / total
= (4+6) / (4+6+8)
=10/18
= 5/9
