Answer:

The 26% solution should she use is explained below in detailed explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumed there be 10 percent of x liters of acid solution

Assumed there be 26 percent of y liters of acid solution

provided Information

A chemist needed to combine a 10 percent acid solution with a 26 percent acid solution to obtain 16 liters of a 14 percent acid solution

So, ( 10 / 100 )*x + ( 26 / 100 )*y = ( 14 / 100 )*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.26*y = 0.14*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.26*y = 2.24 ....................... eq 1

x + y = 16 ......................... eq 2

Multiply ( 0.1 ) in both side in eq 2

=> 0.1*x + 0.1*y = 0.1*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.1*y = 1.6 ......................... eq 3

Subtract eq 3 from eq 1

0.1*x - 0.1*x + 0.26*y - 0.1*y = 2.24 - 1.6

=> 0.16*y = 0.64

=> x = 0.64 / 0.16

=> y = 4

So, 4 liters of 26% solution she should utilized

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v=u+at

38.9=13.2+21.5 t

21.5 t=38.9-13.2

21.5 t=25.7

t=25.7/21.5≈1.195 s

Find the measure of angle A. This is for my math class, and I’ve been stuck on this for a while. Please help!
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a ∆ = 180°

Therefore, (17x - 1) + (3x - 4) + 25 = 180

Use this expression to find the value of x, then find the measure of angle A.

17x - 1 + 3x - 4 + 25 = 180

17x + 3x - 1 - 4 + 25 = 180

20x + 20 = 180

Subtract 20 from both sides

20x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20

20x = 160

Divide both sides by 20

\frac{20x} = \frac{160}{20}

x = 8

Find measure of angle A.

Angle A is given as 3x - 4

Plug in the value of x and solve

A = 3(8) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20
