Answer:
The length is 28 and the width is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.
Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5
So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:
2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78
6x - 10 + 2x = 78
8x - 10 = 78
8x = 88
x = 11
x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:
3x - 5
3 × 11 - 5
33 - 5 = 28
Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)
We know that
The mixture in Tank A is 5/(5+10) = 1/3 pure alcohol.
The mixture in Tank B is 3/(3+12) = 1/5 pure alcohol.
We want to combine these to make a mixture that is 25% = 1/4 pure alcohol.
Let
x------------------> the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank A.
y------------------>the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank B
Then
the volume taken from Tank B will be y=(8 -x)
remember that we are making a total of 8 gallons of solutions.
The alcohol content of the mixture is(1/3)x +(1/5)(8 -x) = (1/4)*85x + 3(8 -x) = 30 ----------> 5x+24-3x=30----------> 5x-3x=30-24
2x = 6 ----------------> x=3
y=8-x--------> y=8-3-----> y=5
the answer is
3 gallons should be taken from Tank A;
5 gallons should be taken from Tank B
