The ans is choice D. since there nothing under 5x, imagine there is a 1 under. After that, you can simply cross multiply, so it would be 1(6+8x)= 2(5x). 6+8x= 10x now combine like terms so subtract 8x from both sides and divide 6 by 2 and you will get 3
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+4)(a-2)=a^2+2a-8
a*a=a^2
a*(-2)=-2a
a*4=4a
4*(-2)=-8
a^2-2a+4a-8=a^2+2a-8
The total amount of the resulting mixture can be calculated by adding up the volume of the given substances assuming that volume addition is applicable given the properties of the fluids used.
That is,
T = 6 quarts + 10 quarts = 16 quarts
The total volume of the resulting mixture is 16.
Then, we do the component (antifreeze) balance by adding up the resulting antifreeze from the substances to the total. We let x be the percentage of antifreeze in the final mixture.
6(0.52) + 10(0.32) = 16(x)
The value of x from the equation is 0.395.
Therefore, the answer to this item is 39.5%.
