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

What are the differences between an (Algebraic) equation and expression?
lara31 [8.8K]

Hello!


An equation has an (=). They equal something. For example, 1+1=2 is an equation.


An expression does not have an equal sign. For example, 2 or 1+3 are both expressions. They have no equal sign.


I hope this helps!

Find the Prime Factorization of -165
Ghella [55]

Answer:

(-1)(11)(3)(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First off:  -165 separates into the factors (-1) and (165).  Next, we divide 165 by 15, obtaining 15(11).

So far, we have (-1)(11)(15).

15 is still factorable.  We get:

(-1)(11)(3)(5), which is the desired prime factorization of -165.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+ 3 = - 3x + 23\\2x+3=23 \\2x=20\\x=10

1. Subtract -3x from both sides of equation

2. Subtract 3 from both sides of equation

3. Divide both sides by 2
