X^2 - x - 20
(x + 4)(x - 5) <==
x^2 - x - 20.....the last sign, which is negative, tells me that one set is positive and one set is negative. The first sign, which is also negative, tells me that the larger number will be negative. Now u have to find 2 numbers, that when added equal -1 and when multiplied, equal -20....those numbers are -5 and 4. so ur answer is : (x + 4)(x - 5)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So lets say that this salt and water solution consists of 100 liters.
Then that means 20 liters is salt, and 80 liters out of the 100 is water.
Now, we remove 25% of the water. 25% of 80 liters is 20 liters. So, we are left with 80-20, or 60 liters.
Now in all we have 20 liters of salt, and 60 liters of water.
The percentage of salt in the new mixture will be 20/(20+60) = 20/80 = 25%.
Your answer is 25%
