Answer:
a = 20 . . . . liters
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, multiply the equation by 30+a:
a = 0.4(30 +a)
a = 12 + 0.4a . . . . . eliminate parentheses
0.6a = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.4a
a = 12/0.6 = 20 . . . divide by the coefficient of a
20 L of alfalfa must be added
_____
<em>Check</em>
20/(30+20) = 20/50 = 40/100 = 0.4 . . . . . . answer checks OK

To solve for
, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Take the square root of both sides, making sure to use both positive and negative roots.

cannot be simplified, so we'll leave it as-is.
Add
to both sides to fully isolate
.

Expand the solution by making two solutions, one where
is positive and one where it's negative.
