Mathematics

Answer:

Simplifying
5x + 7y = -6

Solving
5x + 7y = -6

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 7y + -7y = -6 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
5x + 0 = -6 + -7y
5x = -6 + -7y

Divide each side by '5'.
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
x = -1.2 + -1.4y

Simplifying
4x + 7y = -9

Solving
4x + 7y = -9

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 7y + -7y = -9 + -7y

Combine like terms: 7y + -7y = 0
4x + 0 = -9 + -7y
4x = -9 + -7y

Divide each side by '4'.
x = -2.25 + -1.75y

Simplifying
x = -2.25 + -1.75y

A certain bleach is 5% active ingredients. In 10 gallons of this bleach, how much is active ingredients
aalyn [17]
You didn't include how many gallons each container of bleach has, so I'm just going assume one container has a gallon inside. if 5% of one gallon is active Ingredients, and there are 10 gallons, then that's 1,000%. (one gal = 100%. 100x10= 1,000) 5 x 10= 50, so 50% of 1,000% is active ingredients, which can be simplified to 5% anyway, so 5%
