Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

176 of 12% vinegar

44 of 7% vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage vinegar required = 11%

Volume = 220 mL

First brand % = 7%

Second brand % = 12%

Let p = volume of 12% vinegar material

Mixture :

0.12p + 0.07(220 - p) = 220 * 0.11

0.12p + 15.4 - 0.07p = 24.2

0.05p = 8.8

p = 8.8 / 0.05

p = 176

176 of 12% vinegar and

220 - 176 = 44

44 of 7% vinegar
