X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.


how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x
Answer:
first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a simultaneous equation.
First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".
x + 2y = 14 (equation 1)
2x + y = 10 (equation 2)
This is solved using the elimination method.
We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.
2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2
4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14 (2y cancels out here)
3x = 6
x = 2
Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.
2 + 2y = 14
2y = 12
y = 6
Hope this has answered your question.
The probability of it happening once is 1/5, since 10/50 simplifies to 1/5. Because the ticket goes back in the bag, the probability stays constant at 1/5.
For it to happen twice, you multiply the probability of it happening once, twice.
1/5 • 1/5 = 1/25 probability of it being Gary's name twice in a row.
A=p(1+i/m)^mn
A=26,000÷(1+0.06÷2)^(2×7)
