Answer:

Therefore the third container contains   \frac{735}{17}\% = 43.23 %  acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, One container is filled with the mixture that 25% acid. 55% acid is contain by second container.

Let the volume of first container be x cubic unit.

Since the volume of second container is 55% larger than the first.

Then the volume of the second container is

= (V\times \frac{100+55}{100})   cubic unit.

=\frac{155}{100}V  cubic unit.

The amount of acid in first container is

=V\times \frac{25}{100}  cubic unit.

=\frac{25}{100}V  cubic unit.

The amount of acid in second container is

=(\frac{155}{100}V \times \frac{55}{100}) cubic unit.

=\frac{8525}{10000}V cubic unit.

Total amount of acid =(\frac{25}{100}V+\frac{8525}{10000}V) cubic unit.

                                   =(\frac{2500+8525}{10000}V) cubic unit.

                                   =(\frac{11025}{10000}V)cubic unit.

Total volume of mixture =(V+\frac{155}{100}V) cubic unit.

                                       =\frac{100+155}{100}V cubic unit.

                                       =\frac{255}{100}V  cubic unit.

The amount of acid in the mixture is

=\frac{\textrm{The volume of acid}}{\textrm{The amount of mixture}}\times 100 \%

=\frac {\frac{11025}{10000}V}{\frac{255}{100}V}\times 100\%

=\frac{735}{17}\%

Therefore the third container contains  \frac{735}{17}\%  acid.

murzikaleks [220]

Everywhere you see z, replace the letter with 18.

z/[(3- 2z)] + 4(z - 8)

18/[(3 - 2(18))] + 4(18 - 8)

You finish.

Given log3 2=0.631 log3 7=1.771 what is log3 14?
Leni [432]
In logarithm, inverse operations are applied.
log_3{14} =  log_3{7} +   log_3{14} \\ log_3{14} = 0.631 + 1.771 \\log_3{14} = 2.402

What is a(4-x) = 3x+b?​
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a=3x+b/4-x

Step-by-step explanation:

I dont know which variable you're supposed to solve for. But here's how i got the answer above:

Divide each term in a(4-x)=3x+b by 4-x

a(4-x)/4-x=3x/4-x+b/4-x

Then, cancel the common factor of 4-x, giving you

a=3x/4-x+b/4-x

Finally, combine the numerators over the common denominator,

giving you a=3x+b/4-x

What is the slope of the line below? If necessary, enter your answer as a
alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula to find the slope/gradient

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

(-5, -1) = (x1, y1)

(5, 11) = (x2, y2)

So,

=  \frac{11 - ( - 1)}{5 - ( - 5)}  \\  =  \frac{12}{10 }  \\  =  \frac{6}{5}
