If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500
litres, and it contains
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375
litres of alcohol.
Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>
<em />
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375
0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375
75 = 0.25<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 300
Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - 300
<em>y</em> = 200
So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.
Answer:
I am guessing it is 67 as for maybe the whole thing is 180 degrees. So 180 subtracted by 67 and 46 equals 67!!!
The answer to your problem is 20%
Answer:
6 < x < 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound inequality in this instance represent the "and" condition, not the "or" condition.* We might solve it like this.
-47 > 1 -8x > -63 . . . . given
Multiply by -1:
47 < -1 +8x < 63
Add 1:
48 < 8x < 64
Divide by 8:
6 < x < 8
______
* You can tell this is the case by looking at the ends of the given statement:
-47 > -63 . . . . a true statement, so the solution set will be an intersection, not a union.
