With amounts measured in gallons, let
x = amount of 65% antifreeze
y = amount of 90% antifreeze
1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.
To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have
x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]
0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]
Solve the first equation for y :
y = 120 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96
0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96
0.25x = 12
x = 48
Solve for y :
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
Answer:
After division we get the value 4.29310344828
Step-by-step explanation:
let x =1,743 ÷406
x= 1,743 ÷406
we get
x=4.29310344828
Answer:
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
Combine like terms
8x + 12 = 180
Subtract 12 from each side
8x+12-12 = 180-12
8x =168
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 168/8
x =21
