Answer:

x is equal to 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start by making a proportion. In order to do so, you need to set it up using the smaller triangle on the right and the larger triangle on the left.

39/x = 65/(x + 18)

Now cross multiply to solve.

65*x = 39(x + 18)

65x = 39x + 702

26x = 702

x = 27

Meryl needs to add enough water to 11 gallons of an 18% detergent solution to make a 12% detergent solution. Which equation can

LenKa [72]

A suitable equation will equate the quantity of detergent both before and after the water is added to the solution.

the amount of detergent in 11 gal of 18% solution is the same as the amount of detergent in the 12% solution (after g gallons of water are added)
.18*11 = .12*(11+g)

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Divide by 4, because 4 is a factor of 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is incorrect reasoning because what the constant is on the right side of the equation has nothing to do with the number you are dividing by. In other words, you are dividing by 4 because that isolates the x-variable, and if it was 5x you would divide by 5. The number that you are dividing by only is determined by what number isolates x.
