Original Mixture: 10 liters, 25% acid = 0.25

Added mixture :  x liters,  0% acid = 0    since it is pure water.

Total mixture:  Volume = (10 + x), % = 10% = 0.1

Using mixtures formula:

Volume₁ * %₁ + Volume₂*%₂ = Total Volume*Total% 

10*0.25 + x*0 = (10 + x)*0.10

2.5 + 0 = 10*0.10 + 0.1*x

2.5 = 1 + 0.1x

1 + 0.1x = 0.250

0.1x = 2.5 - 1

0.10 = 1.5

x = 1.5/0.1

x = 15

Amount of pure water to be added is 15 liters.

Hope this helps.

5х2-7x-6=0 <br><br> factored form
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(x - 2)(5x + 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 7x - 6 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 6 = - 30 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 10 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 10x + 3x - 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

5x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0 ← factor out (x - 2) from each term

(x - 2)(5x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form
