So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,
Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)
Answer:
102 gallons of 55% antifreeze
68 gallons of 80% antifreeze
Step-by-step explanation:
55% antifreeze: x
80% antifreeze: y
x + y = 170 ===> -.55(x + y = 170) ===> -.55x - .55y = -93.5
.55x + .80y = .65(170) ===> .55x + .80y = 110.5
________________
add the two equations to eliminate a variable: 0.25y = 17
divide by 0.25 to isolate y: y = 68
substitution to find x:
x + y = 170
x + 68 = 170
x = 102
Answer:
no
