Answer: 33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We initially have 130 gallons of a 9\% acid solution and we need to change it to a 12\% acid solution, and for that it is necessary to evaporate n gallons of water.

So, this situation can be mathemtically expressed as follows:

(130)(9\%)=(130-n)(12\%)

Then:

(130)(\frac{9}{100})=(130-n)(1\frac{12}{100})

Isolating n:

11.7=15.6-0.12 n

n=32.5 \approx 33

Hence, we need to evaporate 33 gallons of water.

podryga [215]

Answer:

The small box contains 21 cans

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the small box with S and the large with L.

For Estelle:

3L + 5S = 170

For the boy:

4L + 4S = 184

Required

Determine the cans in the small box

3L + 5S = 170 --- (1)

4L + 4S = 184 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 4

L + S = 46

Make L the subject

L = 46 -S

Substitute 46 - S for L in (1)

3L + 5S = 170

3(46 - S) + 5S = 170

Open bracket

128 - 3S + 5S = 170

128 + 2S = 170

Collect Like Terms

2S = 170-128

2S = 42

Divide both sides by 2

S = 21

<em>Hence, the small box contains 21 cans</em>
