How many gallons of a 20% salt solution must be mixed with 4 gallons of a 30% salt solution to make a 25% salt solution?

Answer:

4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that g = the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution,

The first thing we want to do here is to convert each " percentage " into decimal form, to make things a bit simpler here.

( 20(percent) = 0.20

( 30( percent ) = 0.30

( 25( percent ) = 0.25

Before this mixture takes place, the 20% salt solution is associated with g, the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution. Respectively the 30% salt solution is associated with 4 gallons. After mixing the two ( g and 4 ) the 25% salt solution should be associated with g + 4. We can therefore conclude the following equation -

0.20( g )+0.30( 4 ) = 0.25( g + 4 )

And now, let us solve for " g, "

0.2g + 1.2 = 0.25g + 1

- 0.2g       = - 0.2g

_________________

1.2 = 0.05g + 1

- 1  =          -  1

_________________

0.2 = 0.05g,

g = <u><em>4 gallons of a 20% salt solution</em></u>

X + y = 24
Masja [62]

Answer:

(10, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system let's use substitution:

Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y

Thus, y must be 14.

If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.

Check:  Is this true?  3(10) + 5(14) = 100  YES

The solution is (10, 14).

What was it about the questions on the best that you were supposed to compare to this solution?

Whitepunk [10]
I can't see the options, but you would need to multiply (4x - 2y = 7) by 3, and (3x - 3y = 15) by 4 so that you get 12x in both equations. Then when you subtract, you eliminate 12x. I hope this helps!
