THREE LINEAR EQUATIONS WITH THREE VARIABLES
A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25%,
and the third contains 70%. He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 40 liters containing 45%
acid, using 2 times as much of the 70% solution as the 25% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
How to set up as three linear equations to find the answer?

set up 2 equations
the first equation...
15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40
0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40
0.15x+1.65y=18
multiply all terms by 100
15x+165y=1800
divide all terms by 15
x+11y=120
the second equation...
x+y+2y=40
x+3y=40
x=40-3y
substitute into the first equation x+11y=120
40-3y+11y=120
40+8y=120
8y=120-40
8y=80
y=80/8
y=10 liters
x+3*10=40
x+30=40
x=40-30
x=10 liters
10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%
check:
10*15%=1.5
10*25%=2.5
20*70%=14
1.5+2.5+14=18
18/40=9/20=45/100=45%
45%*40=18

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)
d = 
= 
= 
= 
→ B
The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
Therefore C is the answer.
A, B, and D are all properties of rational numbers. Irrational numbers are ones that can not be written as a ratio, or fraction, using whole numbers. They are non-repeating, non-terminating numbers. Example would be pi.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we need to use the numbers given. So in the problem it states that k = 20 and v = 10. We can replace the letters in the equation for the numbers that it equals so the equation can make sense so 25 - 20 + 10 because k is 20 and v is 10 I simply just replaced the letters with the numbers given in the problem. Then we can just subtract 25 - 20 which is 5 and add 10 which leaves you at a final answer of 15. Hope this helped!
