Answer:
a=7
Step-by-step explanation:
24^2+a^2=25^2
576+a^2=625
49=a^2
a=7
Answer:
24% saline
Step-by-step explanation:
Find how much saline is in both solutions:
7(0.27)
= 1.89
3(0.17)
= 0.51
Add this together:
1.89 + 0.51
= 2.4
Since there are 10 quarts in total, the concentration of the mixture can be found by dividing 2.4 by 10:
2.4/10
= 0.24
So, the concentration of the mixture is 24% saline
Multiplying eqn no. two with 4 we add it up with eqn 1.


When


So, x = - 10/17 and y = - 42/17.
