Answer:

1.60 L of 10% solution

0.40 L of 35% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = amount of 10% saline solution, and y = amount of 35% saline solution, then:

x + y = 2

0.10x + 0.35y = 0.15(2)

Solve with substitution:

0.10x + 0.35(2 − x) = 0.15(2)

0.10x + 0.70 − 0.35x = 0.30

0.40 = 0.25x

x = 1.60

y = 0.40

Question 8 (1 point)

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

solution is x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

$logx-log3=log(x-2)$

apply log property

log a- log b= log a/b

$logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log (\frac{x}{3} )=log(x-2)$

we have log on both sides

so we remove the log and make the arguments equal

$\frac{x}{3} = x-2$

solve for x, multiply whole equation by 3

$x=3(x-2)\\x=3x-6\\x-3x=-6\\-2x=-6\\x=3$

now plug in 3 for x and check

$logx-log3=log(x-2)\\log3-log3=log(3-2)\\0=0$

solution is x=3

Find the missing symbol: 1/6 ? 1/2 < > = please help

Amanda [17]

Answer:

1/6 < 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger the denominator, the smaller that fraction would be. Both of the numerators are equal, so we don't have to worry about that. Since 6 is larger than 2, we know that 1/2 is larger than 1/6. hope I helped:))
