Exactly 80 liters of 20% are needed.

Let quantity of 20% alcohol solution be added : x liters  

Here is the work:

> x*20% + 40 * 50% = (x+40) * 30%  

> x*0.2 + 40*0.5 = (x+40)*0.3 ..(converting percentages into decimal)  

> 0.2x + 20 = 0.3x + 12

> 20-12 = 0.3x - 0.2x (Rearranging similar terms)

> 8 = 0.1 x

Hence x = 8/0.1  

Ans 80 Litres

Kx-3y=4
N76 [4]
To solve this problem, you need to recognize that the ratios of the coefficients must be equal. So the ratio for this system would be k/4 = -3/-5. Solving for k we get k = (3)*(4)/5 = 12/5, hence the answer is A. Hope that helps!

D: It explains how much ocean water levels have changed from the past to the present.

Explanation:

The passage states that "At the coldest part of the Ice age, the seas were about 410 feet(125 m) lower than the today. As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere naturally rose, Wanless explains, glaciers melted, and the seas rose hundreds of feet." Those two sentences from the passage centrally describe information about the sea and how it has changed throughout the years.  Therefore, the answer is D: It explains how much ocean water levels have changed from the past to the present.
