Let
x = number of liters of the 40% salt solution
y = number of liters of the 20% salt solution
The two amounts (x and y) must combine to 1500 liters, so
x+y = 1500
we can solve for y to get
y = 1500-x
after subtracting x from both sides
---------------------------------------------------
If we have x liters of the 40% salt solution (composed of pure salt plus other stuff) then we have exactly 0.40*x liters of pure salt. Simply multiply the decimal form of the percentage with the amount of solution.
Similarly, if we have y liters of the 20% solution, then we have 0.20*y liters of pure salt
Combined, we have 0.40*x + 0.20*y liters of pure salt all together.
We want 1500 liters of a 28% solution, so we want 1500*0.28 = 420 liters of pure salt
Equate the two expressions (0.40*x + 0.20*y and 420) to get
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
---------------------------------------------------
We have the equation 0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420 and we also know that y = 1500-x
Let's use the substitution property now
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( y ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420 ... note how y is replaced with 1500-x
Now we can solve for x
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*(1500) + 0.20*(-x) = 420
0.40*x + 300 - 0.20x = 420
0.40*x - 0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 - 300 = 420 - 300
0.20x = 120
0.20x/0.20 = 120/0.20
x = 600
Now that we know x, use this to find y
y = 1500-x
y = 1500-600 ... plug in x = 600 (ie replace x with 600)
y = 900
---------------------------------------------------

Answers:
We need 600 liters of the 40% solution
We need 900 liters of the 20% solution
Answer: You would need at least 5 arrangements to make Blooms a better deal
Step-by-step explanation:
Petals Plus
y= 35.17x+67
Blooms
y= 25.03x+108
35.17x+67 =25.03x+108
10.14x= 41
x= 4.05
Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Given data:
∠ABC = 70° and ∠ACD = 55°
<em>If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.</em>
m∠BAC = m∠ACD
m∠BAC = 55°
<em>Sum of the angles in a straight line add up to 180°.</em>
m∠ACD + m∠ACB + m∠ABC = 180°
55° + m∠ACB + 70° = 180°
m∠ACB + 125° = 180°
Subtract 125° from both sides, we get
m∠ACB = 55°
In triangle ABC,
∠BAC = 55° and ∠ACB = 55°
∠BAC = ∠ACB
Two angles in the triangle are equal.
Therefor triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
