Break the parenthesis and distribute negative if needed but there are no negatives in front so we don’t have to do that. So we get 5b -9 + b + 8 So after combining like terms we get 6b -1
Let
be the amount (gal) of the 40% slime solution you end up using. You want to end up with 120 gal of the 50% solution, so that you would use
gal of the 70% solution.
You want the final solution to consist of 50% slime, or 60 gal of slime. Each gal of the 40% solution contributes 0.4 gal of slime, while each gal of the 70% solution contributes 0.7 gal of slime. This means




so the answer is B.
The answer is 25.
Have a good night
N+2 divide 3 so it should be correct hope it helped
