Lets call x the amount of 18% solution and y the amount of 40% solution, and write as equations the info of the problem:
18x + 40y = 10(20)
x + y = 10
lets multiply the second equation by -18 and add to the first:
18x + 40y = 200
-18x -<span> 18y = -180
</span>----------------------
0 + 22y = 20
y = 20/22 = 10/11
and substitute in the original equation:
x <span>+ y = 10
</span>x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 10/11
x = 110/11 - 10/11
x = 100/11
so they have to use 100/11 liters of 18% solution and 10/11 liters of 40% solution
Answer:
points go at -3 on the line and at 9 one above the line
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is y=mx+b, which when you plug in the numbers becomes y=2x-1.
7x+70=98
7x=28
x=4
this is the answer
