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:
x=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to get rid of all the denominators in this equation.
This can be achieved by multiplying both the left and the right side by the Least Common Denominator.
In our example, the LCD is equal to .We need to get rid of all the denominators in this equation.
This can be achieved by multiplying both the left and the right side by the Least Common Denominator.
In our example, the LCD is equal to 3 .
Should be zero, I believe.

<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles
- ∠X≅∠Z (given)
- XY≅ZY (given)
- ∠Y is common angle
By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so
BX≅AZ
