Suppose x grams of 8% solution should be mixed to make 100 g of 3% solution.
here we shall have:
the amount of 3% solution in the 100 g will be:
3/100*100=3 grams
the the equation will be, 8% of what quantity becomes 3g?
(8/100)*x=3
hence solving for x we shall have:
0.08x=3
x=3/0.08
x= 37.8 grams
The implication of this is that, when you have 37.5 grams of 8% solution, that will contain 3 of pure chemical and hence when you add more solvent on top of 37.5 g until you reach 100g, that will be 3% solution.
Answer: <em>n </em>-<em> 4 = -15</em>
<em>n </em>= -11
Step-by-step explanation:
If -15 is the same as 4 less than <em>n, </em>that means that <em>n </em>- 4 = -15
Then you add 4 to each side of the equation to get <em>n </em>by itself. (-15 + 4 = -11)
That step leaves you with <em>n</em> = -11
