<u>Equations</u>
We have two cases where some variable is required to be found such that some condition is met. The first case is about finding the value of a that complies:
Rearranging
Factoring:
There are two solutions:
The second case requires us to find the value of x such that
Rearranging
This second-degree equation has no real roots. We'll offer the imaginary (complex) solutions:
Answer:
3 Liters of the 85% Solution
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to draw your buckets. I can't on computer so imagine the fraction bar is the bottom of the buckets.
Then we multiply the top of the buckets with the bottom:
85x+330=65x+390
Now we simplify and solve
20x=60
x=3
You need 3 liters of the 85% solution!
