Let
x = number of liters of the 40% salt solution
y = number of liters of the 20% salt solution
The two amounts (x and y) must combine to 1500 liters, so
x+y = 1500
we can solve for y to get
y = 1500-x
after subtracting x from both sides
---------------------------------------------------
If we have x liters of the 40% salt solution (composed of pure salt plus other stuff) then we have exactly 0.40*x liters of pure salt. Simply multiply the decimal form of the percentage with the amount of solution.
Similarly, if we have y liters of the 20% solution, then we have 0.20*y liters of pure salt
Combined, we have 0.40*x + 0.20*y liters of pure salt all together.
We want 1500 liters of a 28% solution, so we want 1500*0.28 = 420 liters of pure salt
Equate the two expressions (0.40*x + 0.20*y and 420) to get
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
---------------------------------------------------
We have the equation 0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420 and we also know that y = 1500-x
Let's use the substitution property now
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( y ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420 ... note how y is replaced with 1500-x
Now we can solve for x
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*(1500) + 0.20*(-x) = 420
0.40*x + 300 - 0.20x = 420
0.40*x - 0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 - 300 = 420 - 300
0.20x = 120
0.20x/0.20 = 120/0.20
x = 600
Now that we know x, use this to find y
y = 1500-x
y = 1500-600 ... plug in x = 600 (ie replace x with 600)
y = 900
---------------------------------------------------

Answers:
We need 600 liters of the 40% solution
We need 900 liters of the 20% solution
The first step in solving for f(g(x)) when x=3, is solve for g(x). The answer of g(x) when x is equal to 3 is -(5) multiplied by 3 add by 2. Therefore, g(x) is -13. Then substitute the value of g(x) to f(x). The answer of f(-13) is 2 multiplied by -13, then add 1. So, the final answer is, f(x)=-25.
Answer:
3.09
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 2.2 by 6.8 then z would equal 3.09
The answer is A.5/8.
Why?
Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.
Hope this helps!
The total pounds of shrimp they catch is 9.625 pounds
<h3>Sum of values and decimals</h3>
Decimal number are numbers that has decimal points. Given the following information;
The total shrimp Spencer catch = 2 pounds
The total shrimp Jaclyn catch = 3.25 pounds
The total shrimp Ayden catch = 4.375 pounds
Determine the total pounds of shrimp they catch
Total shrimp = 2 + 3.25 + 4.375
Total shrimp = 9.625 pounds
Hence the total pounds of shrimp they catch is 9.625 pounds
