Lets call x the amount of 18% solution and y the amount of 40% solution, and write as equations the info of the problem:
18x + 40y = 10(20)
x + y = 10
lets multiply the second equation by -18 and add to the first:
 18x + 40y = 200
-18x -<span> 18y = -180
</span>----------------------
0 + 22y = 20
y = 20/22 = 10/11
and substitute in the original equation:
x <span>+ y = 10
</span>x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 10/11
x = 110/11 - 10/11
x = 100/11
so they have to use 100/11 liters of 18% solution and 10/11 liters of 40% solution

Please<br> help 20 points

Answer:

1) x ≤ -2;

2) x > 2;

3) x - 2 < 0

4) 2 ≤ x;

5)-2 < x;

Step-by-step explanation:

≤ means equal to or smaller than;

≥ means equal to or greater than;

< means smaller than;

> means greater than;

In addition, ≤ and ≥ are closed dots in the intervals. < and > are open dots in the intervals.

1) x ≤ -2; By looking at the intervals, the dot is -2, and the arrow is going to the left sides, -4, that the numbers were in a range of smaller than -2. And also because it's a closed dot, it means equal to or smaller than.

2) x > 2; The number starts in 2 with an open dot, and goes to 4, which means x in a range that greater than 2 but not equal to.

3) x - 2 < 0, we get x < 2, by plus 2 in both sides. The number starts in 2 with an open dot and goes to -4, which means x becomes smaller than 2 but not equal to.

4) 2 ≤ x; The number starts in 2 with a closed dot and goes to 4, the x is places in a number range that is equal to or greater than 2.

5)-2 < x; The number starts in -2 with an open dot and goes to 4, which means x becomes bigger than -2 but not equal to.
