15x - 10 = -9x + 2
15x +9x -10 = -9x + 9x + 2
15 x + 9x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10
15 x + 9 x = 2 + 10
24x = 12
24x/24 = 12/24
x = 1/2
hope this helps
Let’s call the number of gallons of 30% solution “x”. If we mix together 40 gallons and x gallons of solution, we’re going to come out with a total of 40 + x gallons of that 20% solution. Mathematically, this is
40(12%) + x(30%) = (40 + x)(20%)
With the percents as decimals:
40(0.12) + x(0.3) = (40 + x)(0.2)
Simplifying, we have:
4.8 + 0.3x = 8 + 0.2x
Collecting the x terms on one side and the constants on the other:
0.1x = 3.2
And multiplying both sides by 10 to find x:
x = 32
So, you’ll need 32 gallons of 30% solution to yield 40 + 32 = 72 gallons of 20% solution.
Answer:
5 percent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide tax by the cost to see the percentage of the tax.
750/37.50=0.05
5 percent.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve -6x = 5x + 22
add 6x to both sides
0 = 6x + 5x + 22
0 = 11x + 22
11x = -22
x = -22/11
x = -2
