Use the four-step procedure to solve the following problem.

Mathematics

mina [271]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Four resistors are connected in series such that their total resistance is 50ohm . If the resistance of resistors is 5 ohm , 10o
Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

\boxed{R_{4}=20\Omega}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If resistors are in series, so the current  I is the same in all of them. In this problem we have four resistors. So, we can get a relationship between the Equivalent resistance  of series combination and the four resistors as follows:

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3}+R_{4}

R_{eq} is the total resistance 50\Omega. Moreover:

R_{1}=5\Omega \\ R_{2}=10\Omega \\ R_{3}=15\Omega

Therefore:

50=5+10+15+R_{4} \\ \\ R_{4}=50-(5+10+15) \\ \\ R_{4}=50-30 \\ \\ \boxed{R_{4}=20\Omega}

Step-by-step explanation:

The son is y and the mom is x

x=7y

x+3=5(y+3)

7y+3=5y+15

7y=5y+12
