Answer:
x= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x-5=1
+5 on each side to balance the equation:
-3x=6
Divide by -3 on each side:
x=-2

Answer:
The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:
x + y = 45
The concentration of acid of the final solution is:
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
Therefore we have a system of equation:
x + y = 45
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:
-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5
0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2
We now sum both equation:
0.1*x = 2.7
x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons
y = 45 - 27 = 18 gallons
Answer:
1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a manufacturer has 5,634 pens to divide into packs of 4 pens, and the manufacturer makes as many packs as possible, to determine how many packs of pens does the manufacturer make, and how many pens are left over, the following must be done calculation:
5.634 / 4 = X
1,408.5 = X
5,634 - (1,408 x 4) = X
5.634 - 5.632 = X
2 = X
Therefore, 1,408 packs can be made, and 2 pens will be left out.
