Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
since they are supplementary they will have a sum of 180 degrees
The equation should look like this- (5x+4)+(4x+80)=180
after solving the equation- you get x=12
in order to see if that is correct you would plug in 12 where x is in our equation (5x+4)+(4x+80). which does equal 180 when 12 is plugged in
Therefore, 12 is your answer
Answer:
The answer is 1/4!

Answer: choice A. 40 liters
====================================
Explanation:
x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution
If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).
So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)
0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)
0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x
36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x
8 = 0.20x
0.20x = 8
x = 8/0.20
x = 40
So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters
