Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5
/8
x=−160
Step 2: Multiply both sides by 8/(-5).

x=256
Answer:
x=256
So you first need to calculate 8y 2 which is basically 8x2 which equals 16 then add 16y + 17y which is 33 so your answer is 33y+2
Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.
The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that
x + y = 40
The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that
0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40
0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24
12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24
- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12
0.4y = 12
y = 12/0.4
y = 30
x = 40 - y = 40 - 30
x = 10
