Answer:

x=-1 y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Elimination or Substitution (Elimination shown below)

6x+5y=4

6x-7y =-20 <- Multiply by -1

-6x+7y=20

12y = 24

y=2

Plug back into either of the equations and solve for x.

6x + 10= 4

6x = -6

x = -1

Double check work:

-6+10 = 4

How much water must be evaporated from 130 gallons of a 9% acid solution to make a 12% acid solution?

Bad White [126]

Answer: 33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We initially have 130 gallons of a $9\%$ acid solution and we need to change it to a $12\%$ acid solution, and for that it is necessary to evaporate $n$ gallons of water.

So, this situation can be mathemtically expressed as follows:

$(130)(9\%)=(130-n)(12\%)$

Then:

$(130)(\frac{9}{100})=(130-n)(1\frac{12}{100})$

Isolating $n$ :

$11.7=15.6-0.12 n$

$n=32.5 \approx 33$

Hence, we need to evaporate 33 gallons of water.
