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

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

Solve for w -24=-3w+21
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

w = 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to move all of the terms containing the variable w to the left side of the equation and all of the constant terms (ones with numbers only) to the right side of the equation.

w - 24 = -3w + 21

To do this, we should first add 24 to both sides of the equation.

w - 24 + 24 = -3w +21 + 24

If we simplify, we get:

w =  -3w + 45

Next, we should add 3w to both sides of the equation.

w + 3w = -3w + 3w + 45

4w = 45

Finally, we can divide both sides by 4.

4w/4 = 45/4

w = 11.25

Hope this helps!
