If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500

litres, and it contains

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375

litres of alcohol.

Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>

<em />

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375

0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375

75 = 0.25<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 300

Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - 300

<em>y</em> = 200

So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.

How can we solve this?
Delvig [45]
Both angles will equal 180, as there is a line bisecting line AB to create the two angles.

Set up the following equation to have both angles equal 180:

(x + 35) + (x - 23) = 180

x + 35 + x - 23 = 180

Combine like terms:

x + x = 2x
35 - 23 = 12

2x + 12 = 180

Subtract 12 from both sides:

2x = 168

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 84

We now know the value of x, so plug it into the equation we set up:

(84 + 35) + (84 - 23) = 180

119 + 61 = 180

An obtuse angle will have a measure above 90 degrees. The number on the left side that is above 90 degrees is 119. This would be the measure for the obtuse angle.

The obtuse angle is 119 degrees wide.
