Answer:

598 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books in the 3rd pile. We will have then:

1st pile: 2x + 10

2nd pile: 2x

3rd pile: x

3000 = (2x + 10) + (2x) + (x)

3000 = 5x + 10

3000 - 10 = 5x

2990 = 5x

2990/5 = x

x = 598 books in the third pile!

We can check that:

3000 = 2*598 + 10 + 2*598 + 598

3000 = 1196 + 10 + 1196 + 598

3000 = 3000 CHECK!

You need a 50% solution. On hand, you have a 200 mL of a 35% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How much of the
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

150 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a mixture that is at 50%, now we have 200 mL at 35% and another mixture that is at 70%, that is, we must calculate how much of this mixture is added, by the following equation

200 * 35% + x * 70% = 50% (x + 200)

70 + 0.7 * x = 0.5 * x + 100

0.7 * x - 0.5 * x = 100 - 70

0.2 * x = 30

x = 30 / 0.2

x = 150

150 mL must be added so that the mixture is 50%.
