We can use these variables:
A = number of ounces for solution A
B = Number of ounces for solution B
A + B = 20
Now, we can use decimal conversions.
0.65A + 0.80B = 0.70(120)
Next step: We substitute A into 120 - B to show their relationship.
0.65(120 - B) + 0.80B = 84
Now onto the next equation:
78 - 0.65B + 0.80B = 84
0.80 - 0.65 = 0.15, so…
0.15B = 84 - 78
0.15B = 6
B = 6 divided by 0.15
B = 40 ounces
To find A, we can simply plug B into the starting equation.
A = 120 - 40
A = 60 ounces
Your final answer: The scientist should use 60 ounces of solution A and she should use 40 ounces of solution B. Yeah
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
this is the answer hope will help
X+(4x-20)=180
=>5x-20=180
=>5x=200
=>x=40
80/60 = (80 + 2x)/(60 + 27)
80/60 = (80 + 2x)/87
4/3 = (80 + 2x)/87
3 . (80 + 2x) = 4 . 87
240 + 6x = 348
6x = 348 - 240
6x = 108
x = 18
