Answer:

10 liters of the 40% solution, and 10 liters of the 10% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that x = the liters of the 40% solution, and y = liters of the 10% solution in her lab. We know that Joy is preparing a solution containing a total 20 liters, so x + y = 20. We can respectively create the following system of equations,

x + y = 20,

0.40x + 0.10y = 0.25 ( 20 )

And now we have to solve this system of equations for x and y, the liters of the 40% solution and the liters of the 10% solution,

\begin{bmatrix}x+y=20\\ 0.4x+0.1y=0.25\left(20\right)\end{bmatrix}  ( Substitute x as 20 - y )

0.4\left(20-y\right)+0.1y=0.25\cdot \:20\end{bmatrix} ( Isolate y )

8-0.3y=5 ⇒ 80-3y=50 ⇒ -3y=-30 ⇒ y = 10

x=20-10 = 10 ⇒ x = 10

Therefore, there are 10 liters of both the 40% and 10% solution.

Well, first, the equation that you are looking for is Y = MX + B. To find B, look at the first dot on the Y-axis. It starts at positive 3, so, you know your equation will end with +3. Next, to find MX, start at the either dot, and find the Rise/Run. In this particular equation, the rise is 1, and, the run is -2, because it's going backwards (negative line). Meaning, the line's equation would be, f( x )= -1/2x + 3.
