Answer: The new amount is 0.78*5500. Which is 4290. The decrease is 5500-4290=1210.
Answer:
-11xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting a negative means adding.
-14xy - (-3xy) = -14xy + 3xy = -11xy
The absolute value of -1/3 is 1/3. I guess by using the number line you move 2(1/3) to the right from the point -1/3

Answer: 160 liters of the
40% solution and 80 liters of the 70% solution will be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of liters of 40% antifreeze solution that should be used.
Let y represent the number of liters of 70% antifreeze solution that should be used.
The volume of the mixture to be mixed is 240 liters. It means that
x + y = 240
The 40% antifreeze solution is to be mixed with a 70% antifreeze
solution to get 240 liters of a 50% solution. This means that
0.4x + 0.7y = 0.5(240)
0.4x + 0.7y = 120 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 240 - y into equation 1, it becomes
0.4(240 - y) + 0.7y = 120
96 - 0.4y + 0.7y = 120
- 0.4y + 0.7y = 120 - 96
0.3y = 24
y = 24/0.3
y = 80
x = 240 - y = 240 - 80
x = 160
