Answer:

4 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There is 1 gallon of 10% solution

2. There is 2% saline in water

3. The equation is 10% of 1 gallon = 2% of solution of x gallons of water + saline

0.1 = 0.02(x + 1)

Subtracting 0.02 from both sides, we get  

0.1 -0.02= 0.02x +0.02 -0.02

0.08 = 0.02x  

Dividing both sides by 0.02, we get  

0.08/0.02 = 0.02x/0.02

x = 4.

4. The answer is 4 gallons of water.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

Write an equation for the following: y varies directly with x and z. Find K when x=2, y=12 and z=5.
olga_2 [115]

\qquad \qquad \textit{direct joint variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x} and \underline{z}}~\hspace{8.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xz~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}, }w^2\textit{ and }z^5~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}xw^2z^5~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

y = kxz\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} x=2\\ y=12\\ z=5 \end{cases}\implies 12=k(2)(5) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12}{(2)(5)}=k\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=k~\hspace{10em}\boxed{y=\cfrac{6}{5}xz}
