Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + (2x+2)² = (2x+3)²

x² + 4x² + 8x + 4 = 4x² + 12x + 9

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1 This can be discounted as the answer because you cannot have a negative length

answer: x = 5

One canned juice drink is 25%orange juice; another is 10%orange juice. how many liters of each should be mixed together in or

   Qty    · % = Total
Drink 1:    x .25 = .25x
Drink 2:   15 - x .10 = .10(15 - x)
Mixture: 15 .21 = .25x + .10(15 - x)

   (15)(.21)   =    .25x + 1.5 - .10x
   3.15 =    .15x + 1.5
   1.65 = .15x
   11    = x

Drink 1 (25%) is 11 liters
Drink 2 (10%) is 15 - 11 = 4 liters
