Answer:

x = 15 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture is made with two types of solutions.

Solution A - 45 ounces of 10% saline solution

Solution B - x ounces of 70% saline solution

Resulting mixture - (x + 45) ounces of 25% saline solution

To get the value of x, equation will be,

(45 × 0.10) + (x × 0.70) = (x + 45) × 0.25

4.5 + 0.70x = 0.25x + 11.25

0.25x - 0.70x  = 4.5 - 11.25

-0.45x = -6.75

x = \frac{6.75}{0.45}

x = 15 ounces

Solve using elimination.<br> 8x – 6y = -6<br> 2x – 4y = -14
vovangra [49]
I’m not sure if you want the answer or how to do i’ll just give you both.
multiply the bottom by -4. then it should look like:
8x-6y=-6
-8x+16y=56
then cancel out the x’s and add/subtract the others, giving you: -2y=50. then divide 50 by -2 giving you: y=-25. then find x. plug in y to one of the equations. i usually do the one that hasn’t been messed with. 8x-6(25)=-6. then solve it like a normal two-step equation.
so the answer is: (18,-25)
