Answer:
X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Divided 26 (total perimeter) by 4 = maximum side length possible = 26÷4 =.6.5
I used the trial and error technique
Guessed it was 2 working out to see if i was right or wrong:
Length: 2(2) + 3 = 4+3 = 7
Width: 3(2) = 6
7+7+6+6 = 26
Therefore X = 2
40/8=5
$5= 1gal.
5x10=50
So 10 gallons of gas costs $50

Answer:
X = -2
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute y=x + 4 in the second equation to find x
x+4 = 2x + 6
subtract x from both sides
4 = x + 6
subtract 6 from both sides
-2 = x
put -2 in for x in the first equation
y= 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
26% is (26-20)/(50-20) = 6/30 = 1/5 of the way between 20% and 50%. That means 1/5 of the solution is 50% acid.
50% acid: 1/5 · 100 mL = 20 mL
20% acid: 100 mL -20 mL = 80 mL
Delbert must mix 80 mL of 20% acid and 20 mL of 50% acid.

Maybe you'd like to see an equation. Let x represent the amount of 50% acid required. Then 100-x is the amount of 20% acid needed. The amount of acid in the mix is ...
0.50(x) +0.20(100 -x) = 0.26(100)
(0.50 -0.20)x = (0.26 -0.20)100 . . . . subtract 0.20(100)
x = (0.26 -0.20)/(0.50 -0.20)×100 = 20
This last expression should look a lot like the one we started with in this answer. It shows you how you can almost write down the answer to mixture problems without a lot of work.
