Answer:

5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of liters of the 17% solution, and represent the percentages as decimal values:

0.1(2) + (0.17)(x) = 0.15(x + 2)

Simplify:

0.2 + 0.17x = 0.15x + 0.3

Solve for x:

0.17x = 0.15x + 0.1

0.02x = 0.1

x = 5

So, you would need 5 liters of a 17% solution to get a 15% solution

What’s the correct answer for this?
goblinko [34]
5x + 34 = -2(1 - 7x)
5x + 34 = -2 + 14x
36 = 9x
x = 4
NO = -2(1 - 7*4)
NO = -2(1 - 28)
NO = -2 + 56
NO = 54

Bridget needs an actor. Actor A is offering her services for an initial $250 in addition
Westkost [7]
$250 + 50x = $200 + 60x

Get like terms on the same side using subtraction
250 -200 + 50x = 60x
50 + 50x - 50x = 60x -50x
50 = 10x     now divide by 10 and get 5 days.

Let's check

Day 1  Actor A is $250 + 50 = $300  Actor B = $200 + 60 = $260
Day 2 Actor A is $250 + 100 = $350  Actor B = $200 + 120 = $320
Day 3 Actor A is $250 + 150 = $400   Actor B = $200 + 180 = $380
Day 4 Actor A  is $250 + 200 = $450   Actor B = $200 + 240 = $440
Day 5  Actor A is $250 + 250 = $500    Actor B = $200 + 300 = $500
