ALGEBRA WORD PROBLEM
Dorian S. asked • 06/28/17
THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find the slope. Since the line is horizontal, it's slope has to be 0 (this is because slope = rise/run, there is no "rise" in a horizontal line therefore the slope is 0)
Now, we need to find the y-intercept. This is where the line intercepts the y-axis. Looking at the graph, the line intercepts the axis at (0,-4), therefore the y-intercept is -4.
The equation would be:
y=0x-4
y=-4
Answer:
Approximately 2 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Cost of bike= £250
<em>Assuming she works for 6 days</em>
1.Babysitting
6*2.75=£16.5 per day
for 6 days
=16.5*6
=£99
2. Saturday Job
=£27.50
Total earnings for the week
=£27.50+£99
=£126.5 weekly
Hence it will take her
=250/126.5
=1.97 week
Approximately 2 weeks to save up the amount
