If Fiona is to divide the first expression by the second one, clearly only the first term of the first expression is divisible. The remaining terms of the fist expression will remain as the remainder. The remainder from the division done by Fiona should be 5x - 3.
Answer:
First we have to find the value of x;
then we have to find the value of y;
Step-by-step explanation:
here,
2x= 12
x = 12\2
x = 6
now,
4y = 12
y = 12\4
y = 3
° the value of x is 6
° ° the value of y is 3
Answer:
- 26 ounces of 55% solution
- 104 ounces of 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130
0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)
x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104
130-x = 26
She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.
In the problem with the white circle, x=100, in the problem with the blue circle, x might equal 165, but I'm not entirely certain. But I am certain about the first one.
