First, multiply by the reciprocal and continue.
<span>Equation:
0.15x + 0.10(5-x) = 0.11*5
---
Multiply thru by 100:
15x + 10*5 - 10x = 11*5
---
5x = 5
x = 1 liter (amt. 15% oj needed)
----
5-x = 4 liters (amt of 10% oj needed)

Answer:
20 1/6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides:
2×(5 1/3 ft) + 2×(4 3/4 ft) = 10 2/3 ft + 8 6/4 ft
= 10 2/3 ft + 9 2/4 ft . . . . change 6/4 ft to 1 1/2 ft
= 10 8/12 ft + 9 6/12 ft = 19 14/12 ft . . . . . use common denominator of 1/12 ft
= 20 2/12 ft . . . . . . change 14/12 ft to 1 2/12 ft; next reduce that fraction
= 20 1/6 ft . . . . perimeter of Caleb's bathroom
To make it easier to graph this equation, you can manipulate it to get it in slope-intercept form. You'd do that like so:
7x + y = -7
y = -7x - 7
Now I can graph a bit more easily as I can more readily make out the slope and the y-intercept...
