you did a question not an answer pal sorry
The dependent value is determine by the value of the independent value. in other words, the dependent value is what you get when you take the independent value and substitute it in the original equation or situation. The relationship is multiplicative because you must first multiply the independent value in the equation where the x is before you can add or subtract to get your answer.<span />
Answer:
- 33 1/3 liters of 30%
- 16 2/3 liters of 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...
0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)
0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)
x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl
33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...
(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
