The concentration of the mixture obtained by mixing two solutions, A and B, is 6 2/3 %. The concentration of the second mixture

obtained by mixing the same two solutions is 16.7%. Find the concentration of each of the solutions A and B, if the first mixture is obtained by mixing them in 2:7 ratio and the second is obtained by mixing them in 7:3 ratio.

Answer:

Concentration of solution A = 23%

and concentration of solution B = 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets get started

lets say that we concentration of solution A be x% and concentration of second solution be y%

we also know that first mixture is obtained by mixing them in ratio of 2:7

so linear equation representing this situation can be written as:

2(x%)+7(y%)= 9(6.66%)    

changing percentage to decimal we get,

.02x+.07y=9(.0666)

.02x+.07y = 0.6          (equation 1 )

similarly , second mixture is obtained by mixing them in ratio of 7:3

so linear equation can be written as:

7(x%)+3(y%) = 10(16.7%)

.07x +.03y = 1.67     (equation 2)

solving equations 1 and 2  we get

x =  23 and y = 2

so concentration of solution A = 23%

and concentration of solution B = 2%

That's the final answer

Hope it was helpful !!

A total of 285 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. the number of student t
Assoli18 [71]
Lets say the number of adult tickets is x. This means the number of student tickets is 2x. So, 2x + x = 285, or 3x =285. The means x = 95. So the number of adult tickets sold is 95.

Find the Domain and Range of the following: (6.-1) (-2.2) (18,-1) (-2,3) Domain: Range: Is this relation a function?​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Domain: {-2,6,18}

Range: {-1,2,3}

This relation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is all of the x values given listed in order from least to greatest and not repeating any numbers. The range is the same thing, but with the y values given. This is not a function because multiple ordered pairs have more than one output for the input. Let's take -2 in these ordered pairs. It has two different outputs, 3 and 2. Because of this, it is not a function.

Hope this helps!!

-5x-(8-x)=12 how do I solve this problem.<br> show a step by step please in a balance problem
Alex

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for x in this this question -5x-(8-x)=12

the firsst step, you would open the bracket with - then evaluate for the value of x

solution

-5x-(8-x)=12

-5x -8 + x = 12

combine the like terms

-5x + x = 12 + 8

-4x = 20

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-4x/-4 = 20/-4

x = -5
