Could you do 31 add 31 which would also be 31 multiplyed by 2
hope this helps
I believe the answer is 1.343 x 10^5
switting upwards this should help
18/27 is the fraction you just said it
Let x = amount of 45% antifreezeLet y = amount of 70% antifreeze EQUATION 1: x + y = 150 (total of 150 gallons mixed) EQUATION 2: .45x + .75y = .55(x + y) Simplify and solve the system of equations Multiply second equation by 100 on both sides to remove the decimals 45x + 75y = 55(x + y) Combine like terms 45x + 75y = 55x + 55y 45x - 55x + 75y - 55y = 0 -10x + 20y = 0 Now we have the following system of equations: x + y = 150 -10x + 20y = 0 Multiply the first equation by -10 to get opposite coefficients for x; add the equations to eliminate x 10x + 10y = 1500 -10x + 20y = 0 ------------------------------ 30y = 1500 Solve for y 30y = 1500 y = 50 Since the total mixed gallons is 150, x = 150 - 50 = 100 So we need 100 gallons of the 45% antifreeze and 50 gallons of the 70% antifreeze
