A scientist needs 60 liters of a 60% acid solution. He currently has a 40% solution and a 70% solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 60 liters of 60% acid solution?
----------------
Equation:
acid + acid = acid
----------------------
0.40x + 0.70(60-x) = 0.60*60
-----
40x + 70*60 - 70x = 60*60
-----
-30x = -10*60
x = 20 liters
----
Gabe needs 20 liters of the 40% solution.
He also needs 40 liters of the 70% solution.
The correct answer is b.
4+2+x and (4+2)+x are equivalent.
It’s 8/15 decimal form it’ll be 0.53 hope this helped !
Answer:
Y=7 and
X=9
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y=16
X=2+Y
2+Y+Y=16
2+2Y=16
2Y=16-2
2Y=14
2Y/2=14/2
Y=7
X =2+Y
So X=9
