Answer:
C. 2x^2-7x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x^2-2x+2)-(x^2+5x-5) <em>Given</em>
From the given you will subtract like terms from both parenthesis.
3x^2-x^2=2x^2
-2x-5x=-7x
2-(-5)=7
15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Since all of these numbers have the same variable they can all be added up to get a sum of 10a which is its simplified form.
