Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to distribute the -3 amongst the 2x and the -3 in the parenthesis. Once distributed you should have -6x + 9 = -5x + 5. Next, you want to get all like terms on the same side, and to do that you must swap the +9 and the -5x. When you swap these, you must 'flip' the sign and change 9 to -9 and -5x to 5x. Now the equation should look like this: -6x + 5x = -9 + 5.

Now just solve. After solving, it should look like this: -1x = -4. Now to get rid of the negatives. Just divide each side by negative one and your answer is x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

George wishes to increase the percent of acid in 50ml of a 15% acid solution in water to 25% acid, how much pure acid must you add?

let

x = amount of pure acid to be added

15% of 50 + x = 25% of 50 + x

(0.15 * 50) + x = 0.25(50 + x)

7.5 + x = 12.5 + 0.25x
