Answer:

19% alcohol solution = 65 ounces

37% alcohol solution = 25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

19% alcohol solution = x

37% alcohol solution = y

x + y = 90 (1)

0.19x + 0.37y = 90*0.24

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60 (2)

from (1)

x = 90 - y

Substitute into (2)

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60

0.19(90-y) + 0.37y = 21.60

17.1 - 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60

- 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60 - 17.1

0.18y = 4.5

y = 4.5/0.18

y = 25 ounces

x + y = 90 (1)

x + 25 = 90

x = 90 - 25

x = 65 ounces

Kayla wants to pick the same number of books in 6 boxes.
lina2011 [118]
I think the answer could be A but I'm not so sure because at first Kayla has 6 boxes with x amount of books in the boxes with four left over so the equation would be 6x+4= number of books. So if she then replaces the now five boxes with x amount of books in them and adds four books to each of the five boxes you get 5x+4=number of books so it all equals out to the same number of books on both sides of the equal sign for 6x+4=5x+4
