Answer:

66 ounces 70% salt solution and of 44 ounces of 95% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = volume needed of 70% salt solution.

Let y = volume needed of 95% salt solution.

Total needed: 110 ounces of 80% salt solution.

Equation of total volumes:

x + y = 110    Equation 1

Equation of percentages of salt:

0.7x + 0.95y = 0.8(110)

0.7x + 0.95y = 88     Equation 2

Multiply both sides of equation 1 by -0.7; write equation 2 below it and add the equations.

       -0.7x - 0.7y = -77

(+)   0.7x + 0.95y = 88

--------------------------------

                  0.25y = 11

y = 44

x + y = 110

x + 44 = 110

x = 66

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

The function f(x)=(25)x<br> is shown on the coordinate plane. Which statement is true?
aivan3 [116]

Answer: In the right end, as x increases without bound, the graph of f(x) decreases.

In the left end, as x decreases without bound, the graph of f(x) increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, the end behaviour of the function in the image is decreasing without bound. When we graph a function, with put an arrow to indicate when a function increases or decreases without bound, that's why in this case we can say the decreases without bound, the function extends without limit.

Therefore, as the x increases, f(x) decreases. If you carefully pay attention to the graph, x is constantly increasing in the right end, and f(x) is more and more close to the x-axis.
