15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
Answer:
They add up to 720 degrees
We have an equation: 56/? = 4/100
Cross multiply:
4*? = 56*100
⇒ ? = 56*100/4 = 1,400
There are 1,400 blank days~
Answer:
-(x-8)(x+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
-x^2+2x+48
-(x^2-2x-48)
-(x-8)(x+6)
The trick is to find two numbers that when they multiply, you get the third term, which in this case, is -48. And when you add those two numbers, you get the second term, which is -2 in this case. The two numbers in this case are -8 and 6.
