Let 'a' be the number of ounces of 2%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture
and 'b' be the number of ounces of 5%-solution in the 25-ounce mixture.
Since, fluid ounces of each concentration should be combined to make 25 fl oz.
So, a+b=25 (Equation 1)
And, a container of 2% acid solution and a container of 5% acid solution should be combined to make 25 fl oz of 3.2% acid solution.
So, a of 2% + b of 5% = 3.2% of 25
Multiplying the above equation by 100, we get
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of a=25-b in equation 2, we get
Since, a=25-b
a= 25-10
a=15.
So, 15 fluid ounces of 2% solution combined with 10 ounces of the 5% solution to create a 25-ounce mixture at 3.2% concentration of acid.
Answer: i think it is 680 or 340, but my gut says 680...
Step-by-step explanation: 4 x 10 = 40 x 17 = 680
5x - 2y + 1z = 8 ⇒ 5x - 2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9x - 2y - 5z = 4 -4x + 3z = 13
5x - 2y + 1z = 8
-9x + 2y + 2z = 5 ⇒ -9x + 2y + 2z = 5
-9z - 2y - 5z = 4 ⇒ -9x - 2y - 5z = 4
-18x - 3z = 9
-4x + 3z = 13
-18x - 3z = 9
-22x = 22
-22 -22
x = -1
-18x - 3z = 9
-18(-1) - 3z = 9
18 - 3z = 9
- 18 - 18
-3z = -9
-3 -3
z = 3
5x - 2y + z = 8
5(-1) - 2y + 3 = 8
-5 - 2y + 3 = 8
-2y - 5 + 3 = 8
-2y - 2 = 8
+ 2 + 2
-2y = 10
-2 -2
y = -5
(x, y, z) = (-1, -5, 3)
<u>Answer</u>
y = (1/2)x - 1
<u>Explanation</u>
The first step is to get the gradient of the line.
The two points in the line are; (2,0) and (-2, -2).
Gradient = (-2 - 0)/(-2, - 2)
= -2/-4
= 1/2
To get the function we use one of the point (2,0) and a general point (x,y).
1/2 = (y - 0)/(x - 2)
1/2 = y/(x - 2)
(x - 2) = 2y
2y = x - 2
y = (1/2)x - 1
