8x + 6=4x + 38
4x = 32
x = 8
<B = 4x + 38 = 4(8) + 38 = 70
Answer:
For every 1 liter of bleach there are 9 liters of water in the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The ratio of bleach to water in a cleaning solution is 2 : 18
- That means for every 2 liters of bleach there is 18 liters of water
∵ There is 1 liter of bleach
- Let us use the ratio method
→ bleach : water
→ 2 : 18
→ 1 : x
- By using cross multiplication
∴ x × 2 = 1 × 18
∴ 2 x = 18
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 9
∵ x represents the number of liters of the water in the solution
∴ The number of liters of the water in the solution is 9
For every 1 liter of bleach there are 9 liters of water in the solution
