X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice
x+y=5L
y=5L - x
x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:
0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)
0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6
0.05x=0.1L
x=2L
so y = 3L
so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice
Answer:
3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You would do 14 divided by 4.
1pound =3.5
According to the question,
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,
y = 2n - 5 ........................this is your equation
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.
Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now,
Using unitary method,
Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
= 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n
Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
