Answer:

  1. <em>0.75</em><em> liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution </em>
  2. <em>0.25</em><em> liters of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, x liters of the 5% hydrochloric acid and y liters of the 45% hydrochloric acid solutions are combined.

As Rajan need total of 1 liter of solution, so

x+y=1

i.e x=1-y --------------------1

As Rajan needs 5% hydrochloric acid and 45% hydrochloric acid to make a 1 liter batch of 15% hydrochloric acid, hence acid content of the mixture of two acids will be same as of the final one, so

0.05x+0.45y=1\times 0.15

i.e 5x+45y=15 -------------2

Putting value of x from equation 1 in equation 2,

\Rightarrow 5(1-y)+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5-5y+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5+40y=15

\Rightarrow 40y=15-5=10

\Rightarrow y=0.25

Putting the value of y in equation 1,

x=1-0.25=0.75

Therefore, Rajan must use 0.75 liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution and 0.25 liters  of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.

-6x + 3y = 9<br>10x + 4y = -6<br>​
Stells [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6x +3y=9 )×4

( 10x+4y)×3

-24x +12y =36

30x+12y= -18

-24x+12y- (30x+12y)= 36-(-18)

-54x = 54

x= -1

by using 10x +4y = -6

apply x= -1

-10+4y= -6

4y= -6 +10

4y=4

y=1

so the answer is x=-1 and y= 1
