A 20-gallon salt-water solution contains 15% pure salt. How much pure water should be added to it to produce a 10% solution?

Elanso [62]

15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.

If we add x gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + x) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or

10% of (20 + x) gal = 0.1 * (20 + x) gal = 2 + 0.1x gal

of salt.

The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for x :

2 + 0.1x = 3

0.1x = 1

x = 10 gal

If a car averages 21.8 miles per gallon, how many miles will it travel on 16 gallons of gas?

asambeis [7]

Answer: 348.8 miles on 16 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the following proportion:

$\frac{21.8 miles}{1 gallon}$ = $\frac{x miles}{16 gallons}$

Since the car consumes gas at the same rate and only the amount of gas is changed, these two fractions must be equivalent. If the rate at which the car consumes gas changes, it would be different.

Use basic algebraic skills and you should get 348.8 miles.

Which expression is the simplest form of -(4x + y)n + 2(x - 3y)

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{-4nx-ny+2x-6y}}$

Explanation:

Rewrite:

= $\bold{-n\left(4x+y\right)+2\left(x-3y\right)}$

Expand $\bold{-n\left(4x+y\right): \ -4nx-ny}$

= $\bold{-4nx-ny+2\left(x-3y\right)}$

Expand $\bold{2\left(x-3y\right): \ 2x-6y}$

= $\bold{-4nx-ny+2x-6y}$

Mordancy.
