Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be <em>x</em>:

Answer:
a= 2 b=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the picture attached.
You can clarify the answer by substituting random points like (0,0) and transformed point
E. G. (0, - 4) in step 1 and (4,0) in step 2 into the original equation and transformed equation for checking.
Concentration = [ (mass of sugar)/(mass of solution) ] * 100
=> mass of solution = mass of sugar * 100 / concentration
1) concentration 20%
mass of sugar = 0.5 lbs
=> mass of solution = mass of sugar * 100 / concentration = 0.5 lbs * 100 / 20
mass of solution = 2,5 lbs
mass of water = mass of solution - mass of sugar = 2.5 lbs - 0.5 lbs = 2.0 lbs
Answer: she must add 2.0 lbs of water and will obtain 2.5 lbs of syrup
2) concentration 25%
Follow the same procedure.
mass of solution = 0.5 lbs * 100 / 25 =
mass of solution = 2.0 lbs
mass of water = 2.0 lbs - 0.5 lbs = 1.5lbs
Answer: she has to add 1.5 lbs of water and will obtain 2.0 lbs of syrup
3) Same procedure
mass of solution = mass of sugar * 100 / concentration = 0.5 lbs * 100 / 1.5
mass of solution = 33.33 lbs
mass of water = 33.33 lbs - 0.5 lbs = 32.83 lbs
Answer: she has to add 32.83 lbs of water and will obtain 32.83 lbs of syrup
insert the y value in the equation,
We can put 934 over 1000 to equal 0.934. The 4 is in the thousandths decimal spot, so we can place 934 over 1000.
= 5.934
place decimal over 1000
= 5 934/1000
simplify fraction by 2
= 5 467/500
ANSWER: 5 467/500 is equivalent to 5.934
Hope this helps! :)
