Answer:

The number of liters of the 45% acid solution = 10 liters

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is = 40 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

How many liters each of a 45% acid solution and a 70% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 65% acid solution? (Round to two decimal places if necessary.)

Let x be the number of liters of the 45% acid solution

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is y

x + y = 50

x = 50 - y

Also

How many liters each of a 45% acid solution and a 70% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 65% acid solution?

We have:

45% × x + 70% × y = 65% × 50

0.45x + 0.70y = 0.65 × 50

0.45x + 0.70y = 32.5

We substitute x = 50 - y in the equation

0.45(50 - y) + 0.70y = 32.5

= 22.5 - 0.45y + 0.70y = 32.5

= - 0.45y + 0.70y = 32.5 - 22.5

= 0.25y = 10

Divide both sides by 0.25

= y = 10/0.25

y = 40 liters

x = 50 - y

x = 50 - 40

x = 10 liters

Hence,

The number of liters of the 45% acid solution = 10 liters

The number of liters of the 70% acid solution is = 40 liters

The two equations are:

x = 5y - 18 (vertically opposite angles are equal)

x + y = 180 (Alternate angles , adjacent angles on a straight line)


x = 5y - 18    ---------------- (1)
x + y = 180   ---------------- (2)

From (2):
x + y = 180
y = 180 - x ---------------- Sub into (1)

x = 5(180 - x) - 18
x = 900 - 5x - 18
6x = 882
x = 147       ---------------- Sub into (2)    

x = 147
y = 180 - 147 = 33

Answer: x = 147, y = 33
