Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.
Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30
Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
We have a system of equations:
x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.
-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x = -3
x = 20

2. D
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Pattern A is adding by 2's (1 -> 3, 4 -> 6, 7 -> 9 and so on).
Pattern B is multiplying by 2's (2 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 8 and so on).

If 0.25 gallons of paint = 24 ft^2, then 1 gallon will equal?
Set up an equation:
Variable x = area of ft^2 for 1 gallon of paint
0.25/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply
0.25 × x = 24 × 1
0.25x = 24
To make calculations easier, you can convert the decimal into a fraction: 0.25 = 1/4
1/4x = 24
Multiply both sides by 4
1x = 96
x = 96 ft^2
Check your work:
0.25/24 = 1/96
0.25 × 96 = 24 × 1
24 = 24
Correct
