Answer:

We need 8 ounces of solution A and 32 ounces of solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt.

She knows that Solution A is  40%  salt and Solution B is 65%  salt.

  • First condition states that she wants to obtain  40  ounces of a mixture that is  60 %  salt, that means;

                       A + B = 40

                        B = 40 - A  ------------ [Equation 1]

  • Second condition states that Solution A is  40%  salt and Solution B is 65%  salt, that means;

                        0.4 \text{A}+0.65 \text{B}=0.60 \times 40

                        0.4 \text{A}+0.65 \text{B}=24

                        0.4 \text{A}+0.65 (40- \text{A})=24     {from equation 1}

                        0.4 \text{A}+26- \text{0.65A}=24

                        \text{0.65A} - 0.4 \text{A}=26-24

                                  \text{0.25A} =2  

                                    A  =  \frac{2}{0.25} = <u>8 ounces</u>

Now, putting value of A in equation 1, we get;

                           B = 40 - A

                           B = 40 - 8 = 32 ounces

Hence, we need 8 ounces of solution A and 32 ounces of solution B.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

2(8x)+5(8)

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number that should go to finished the expression is as follows:

Given that

Kali earns $ 8 per hour.

If she worked for n hours so it would be $8n

And she worked on both monday and tuesday for x hours

So, the x hour earning is $8x and for both days it would be $2 (8x)

In addition to this, she worked 5 hours on thursday

So her earnings on thursday is  5×8=40

So, the total earning for the week is

2(8x)+5(8)

Answer:

t = 1, but please check to see if I correctly interpreted your formatting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of the question is too confusing.

I'll assume this is the equation to be solved:

<u>16−2t=t+9+4t</u>

<u></u>

16−2t=t+9+4t

16-9 = t + 2t + 4t

7 = 7t

t = 1
