Answer:

120 liters of the 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the quantity of 10% solution

Given that we need determine many liters of a 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

As

10% of x = 0.1x

60 liters of a 25%  = 60 × 0.25

Thus,

The equation becomes

0.1x+60\times \:0.25=0.15\left(x+60\right)

Multiply both sides by 100  

0.1x\times \:100+15\times \:100=0.15\left(x+60\right)\times \:100  

10x+1500=15\left(x+60\right)

10x+1500=15x+900

Subtract 1500 from both sides

10x+1500-1500=15x+900-1500

Simplify

10x=15x-600

Subtract 15x from both sides

10x-15x=15x-600-15x

Simplify

-5x=-600

Divide both sides by -5

\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-600}{-5}

Simplify

x=120

Therefore,

  • 120 liters of the 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

A large city has a population of 8,000,000 and an area of 20.5 square miles. what is the city's approximate population density?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: Approximately 390,244 people per square mile

Work Shown:

Density = population/area

Density = (8 million people)/(20.5 square miles)

Density = 390,243.9024 approximately

This rounds to 390,244 since we're talking about the number of people.

Complete the square for 3x^2-12x=9
larisa [96]

Answer:

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 12x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x^2 - 4x = 3

To make a square with "x^2 - 4x", you need to have a "+ 4" after it so it can be simplified as (x-2)^2.  So add 4 to both sides.

x^2 - 4x + 4 = 7

(x-2)^2 = 7

x - 2 = (square root) of 7

x = 2 (+/-) (square root) of 7.

x = {-0.65, 4.65}

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt
