Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In 5 liters, there is 4% salt.
Lets find liters of salt.
First, converting 4% to decimal (dividing by 100):
4% = 4/100 = 0.04
0.04 * 5 = 0.2
So, there is 0.2 liters of salt.
Now, x liters of water is added to total, so total is now:
5 + x
The concentration of salt will be amount of salt divided by amount of salt water solution.
Amount of salt = 0.2 (as seen above)
Amount of new salt water solution = x + 5
So,
Concentration of salt in new solution is 
2nd choice is right.

Th answer is C u got it right
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'
- 12 -12
2. 1/4(x) = -10 - 1/4 since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide
-1/4 - 1/4
3. x = -10.25
Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
Answer:
1 3/7 quarts should be drained off and replaced with pure antifreeze.
1 3/7 ≈ 1.4286
Current amount of antifreeze in quarts is -
30/ 100 × 10 = 3
40% ---> 4 quarts
Let the amount drained of and replaced with antifreeze be x-
The amount left after draining off is 10 − x.
The amount of antifreeze is 30/ 100 (10−x).
30/100(10-x)+x=4
3-3/10x+x=4
3+x(1-3/10)=4
x=1*10/7=1 3/7 quarts
check;
10- 1 3/7 = 8 4/7
=(30/100*8 4/7)+1 3/7
=(3/10 * 60/7) + 10/7
=3*6/7 + 10/7
=28/7
=4
4 liters of pure antifreeze is mixed into 10 quarts.
