What are the side lengths of the equilateral triangle?

Alchen [17]

$5x + (6x - 5) + (3x + 10) = 360$

$5x + 6x - 5 + 3x + 10 = 360$

$11x - 5 + 3x + 10 = 360$

$14x + 5 = 360$

$14x = 360 - 5$

$14x = 355$

$x = 25.36$

$x = 25.36$

$5x = 5 \times 25.36 = 126.8$

$6x - 5 = 6 \times 25.36 - 5 = 147.16$

$3x + 10 = 3 \times 25.36 + 10 = 86.08$

We have 500 grams of a 10% salt solution. How many grams of water must be added to dulite the solution to form a 4% solution. Sh

lys-0071 [83]

Hmm, one way is this
there's 500 times 0.10 or 50 grams of salt in the water
if we want to make 50 grams=4% of everything, how much water do we need to add

50=4% of all
50=0.04 of all
divide both sides by 0.04
1250=all
so
500+what=1250
minus 500 both sides
what=750

750 grams of water

.25(4) = 1 gallon

.25(8) = 2 gallons

.25(12) = 3 gallons

.25(16) = 4 gallons

.25(20) = 5 gallons

it would take 20 minutes to remove half the water (aka 5 gallons)
