He will mix some 20% solution and some 70% solution to make 60% solution.
Let x = number of liters of 20% solution.
Let y = number of liters of 70% solution.
He wants to make 50 liters of 60% solution, so
x + y = 50 First Equation
The amount of acid in x amount of 20% solution is 20% of x, or 0.2x
The amount of acid in y amount of 70% solution is 70% of y, or 0.7y
The amount of acid in 50 liters of 60% solution is 60% of 50 liters, or 0.6 * 50 = 30
Now we add the amounts of acid.
0.2x + 0.7y = 30 Second Equation
x + y = 50
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
-0.2x - 0.2y = -10
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
------------------------
0.5y = 20
y = 40
x + y = 50
x + 40 = 50
x = 10
Answer: He needs 10 liters of 20% solution and 40 liters of 70% solution.
Answer:
B should equal 17 over 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer you chose is correct. Those three values are more than -6.
Find the time it will take:
195 miles / 50 miles per hour = 3.9 hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes:
0.9 hours x 60 = 54 minutes.
3.9 hours = 3 hours and 54 minutes.
Add 3 hours and 54 minutes to the time it leaves:
3:30 pm + 3 hours = 6:30 PM
6:30 + 54 minutes = 7:24 PM
-4 is the x-intercept for your equation
