A chemist mixes a 10% hydrogen peroxide solution with a 25% hydrogen peroxide solution to create 30 liters of a 15% hydrogen per
1 answer:
Your two equations are at the top, in the box is what each variable represents. Below the box is total liters of the 15%, which is going to equal the total liters for 10% plus the total liters for 25%. Make your percentages into decimals. There’s a total of 30 liters so, x+y needs to equal 30. Isolate a variable, I chose y, you can do either or (isolating x would be more math). Y is going to equal 30-x, substitute that for the Y in the second equation, then you need to distribute 0.25 into 30-x. Then it’s simple math, subtract 7.50 from both sides, add like gets, divide both sides by -0.15, making x=20.

Y+4<u><</u>9
subtract 4
y<u><</u>5
y is smaller than and equal to 5
so you shade from 5 to the negative end to infinity (to the left) and shade the 5 to show that it is included (attachment says A)
6 less than (-6) 2 times a number (2 time x) is greater than (>) 8 (8)
-6+2x>8
add 6
2x>14
divide 2
x>7
so
x is bigger than 7
shade from 7 to the positive end to infinity (to the right) and don't shade 7 but put a circle around it to show that it is not included (attachment says B )
