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.

IS THIS IN SIMPLIST FORM? PLEASE HELP! TY! <br><br> 2( x - 3 + 2 )
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two steps to take here.  First add together the -3 + 2 in the brackets:

2(x - 3 + 2)

= 2(x - 1)

Now use the distributive property and multiply each term in the brackets by two:

2(x - 1)

= 2x - 2

And you now have it in simplest form.

Angle A and Angle B are supplementary. Angle A has a measure of 3x - 6 and Angle B has a measure of 54. What is the value of x?
Anni [7]

Answer:

44 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are supplementary, they add up to 180. This means that

3x - 6 + 54 = 180

Solving,

3x + 48 = 180

subtract 48 from both sides

3x = 132

divide both sides by 3

x = 44 degrees
