Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture
and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.
Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.
So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)
And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.
So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25


Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get





Since, a=25-b
a= 25-10
a=15.
So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.
Given:
Consider the given equation is:

To find:
The missing exponent.
Solution:
Let x be the missing exponent. Then the given equation can be written as

It can be rewritten as:

![[\because a^ma^n=a^{m+n}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20a%5Ema%5En%3Da%5E%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5D)
On comparing the coefficient of m, we get



Therefore, the value of the missing exponent is 8. So, the complete equation is
.
Answer:
f(2) = 28
Step-by-step explanation:


1st term = -10
2nd term = -6
3rd term = -2
4th term = 2
5th term = 6
6th term = 10
7th term = 14
The reason how I got 14 for the 7th term is because, i added 4 to each term.
Hope this helps!
