Answer:
21 liters of the 12% solution and 4 liters of the 37% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number of liters of the first solution as x and the second as y. Now, the total liters of iodine is going to be 16% of 25 = 4 liters of iodine, and the total liters of each solution is going to be 25. Now, we can setup two equations:
0.12x+0.37y = 4
x + y = 25
Multiplying the bottom equation by 0.12, we have
0.12x + 0.12y = 3
Subtracting, we have
0.12x+0.37y=4
-
0.12x + 0.12y = 3
= 0.25y = 1
= y = 4
= x = 25 - 4 = 21
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the the solving equation is triple the slope of the given equation. Therefore, the y coefficient must also be triple of the other y coefficient.
