-2 - 1 = -3
The answer is -3.
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.

Answer: Choice C</h3>
Started in Quadrant II and ended in Quadrant IV.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. It shows how the four quadrants are labeled using roman numerals. We start in the upper right corner (aka northeast corner) and work counterclockwise when labeling quadrant I, II, III, and IV in that order.
The green point A is located in quadrant II in the northwest. Meanwhile point B in red is in the southeast quadrant IV.
Therefore, we started in <u>quadrant II</u> and ended in <u>quadrant IV</u> which points us to <u>choice C.</u>
