Answer:

8 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of Alcohol in water= 2L X 0 =0

Percentage of Alcohol to be added = xL X 0.9 =0.9x

  • New Volume =(x+2) Liters
  • Desired Concentration = 0.72%

Therefore:

0+0.9x=0.72(x+2)

0.9x=0.72x+1.44

Collect like terms

0.9x-0.72x=1.44

0.18x=1.44

Divide both sides by 1.44

x=8 Liters

Therefore, Shanice must add 8 Liters of 90% alcohol solution to create the desired mixture

Answer:

The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape.  To calculate the perimeter, sum the lengths of all the sides.

Therefore, perimeter of the triangle = (2x - 8) + (2x + 5) + (30 - 3x)

Collect like terms:  2x + 2x - 3x - 8 + 5 + 30

Combine like terms:  x + 27

Therefore, perimeter of triangle = x + 27

We are told that the perimeter is 25:

x + 27 = 25

Subtract 27 from both sides: x = -2

If x = -2, then the side with equation 2x - 8 = (2 x -2) - 8 = -12

A length cannot be negative, therefore the perimeter cannot equal 25.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

-2.5 and 2.5 compare to eachother on the number line because they are the exact same distance away from 0.
