8/3 pretty sure that’s the answer
Cos (314) = .694 is positive
Answer:
The amount of acid in third container is =42%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , one container is filled with a mixture that is 30% acid a second container filled with a mixture that is 50% acid and the second container 50% larger than the first .
Let, the volume of first container is = x
Then , the volume of second container = (x+ x of 50%)
= x + 0.5 x
= 1.5 x
Therefore the amount of acid in first container
= 0.3 x
The amount of acid in second container
= 0.75x
Total amount of acid= 0.3x + 0.75x = 1.05 x
Total amount of solution = x+1.5x = 2.5x
The amount of acid in third container is =
%
= 42%
You mean (x-8)/3 = 3 ...right?
You would multiply both sides by 3.
Then, add 8 to both sides.
x=17
X+y=44
x=5/6y
x+y=44
5/6y+y=44
11/6y=44
11y=264
y=24
x=5/6y=(5/6)*24=20
Answers: numbers are 20, 24
