Answer:

17.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

x L  of  30% solution , has 0.30x salt

35 L of 25 % solution, has (0.25*35) salt

(35 - x)L  20% solution, has 0.20*(35 - x) salt

Mass of salt before mixing = mass of salt after mixing

0.3x + 0.2(35 - x) = 0.25* 35

0.3 x + 7 - 0.2x = 8.75

0.1x = 8.75 -7

0.1x = 1.75

x = 17.5 L

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
(see attached graphic)
1.2 miles = 6,336 feet

IF the length is measured along the ground then:
tan (angle) = opp / adjacent
tan (angle) = 3,200 / 6,336
<span>tan (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 26.796 Degrees

IF the length is measured from the ground to the top then:
sin (angle) = opp / hypotenuse
<span>sin (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 30.335 Degrees
