Answer:

9.6 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is mL of chemical X, and y is mL of chemical Y, then:

x + y = 16

0.05x + 0.09y = 0.074(16)

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

0.05(16 − y) + 0.09y = 0.074(16)

0.8 − 0.05y + 0.09y = 1.184

0.04y = 0.384

y = 9.6

You need 9.6 mL of Y.

PEASE HELP ASAP!!! The sum of two numbers is 58.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

y=15

x=43

(any variable can be used, I used x and y to make it easier to show)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=58

x-y=28

get x by its self

x=58-y

then subsitute into the other equation

(58-y)-y=28

58-2y=28

-2y=-30

y=15

sub. again

x+15=58

x=43
