Answer:

The scientist must use 10 ounces of Solution A and 40 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B, each containing salt, and she knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 90% salt, and she wants to obtain 50 ounces of a mixture that is 80% salt, to determine how many ounces of each solution should she use the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 0.9 + 0 x 0.4 = 90

90 x 0.9 + 10 x 0.4 = 85

80 x 0.9 + 20 x 0.4 = 80

50 x 0.8 = 40

Therefore, the scientist must use 10 ounces of Solution A and 40 ounces of Solution B.

A washer and dryer cost $869 combined. The washer cost $81 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
marysya [2.9K]
W+d=869
w=d-81
plug in
(d-81)+d=869
2d-81=869
+81 both sides
2d=950
÷2 both sides
d=475
dryer cost $475

let's check w=475-81
w=394
475+394=869
869=869
the solution is true :)

Solve for x<br> 1 7 1<br> 2<br> х<br> Your answer
ki77a [65]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -5 = -2 + 9

-2 + 9 = 7 so now its 3x - 5 = 7

add 5 to the -5 so it cancels itself out. then add the 5 to 7 so it become 12. the you have 3x = 12

divide 12 ÷ 3 = 4

x = 4
