Answer:
The amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's "x" be amount of water in (liters) added to 15 liters of 40% of sugar syrup.
Now find the amount of sugar syrup = 40% of 15
= 0.4 × 15
The amount of sugar syrup = 6 Liters
To dilute 30% we need to find amount of water to be added.
So,
30% of (15 + x) = 6
0.3 × (15 + x) = 6
4.5 + 0.3x = 6
0.3x = 6 - 4.5
0.3x = 1.5
Dividing both sides, by 0.3, we get
x = 5
So, the amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.

Answer: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 (choice A)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If we plug in x = -2, then we get,
y = x^2 + 7x - 9
y = (-2)^2 + 7(-2) - 9
y = 4 - 14 - 9
y = -10 - 9
y = -19
So x = -2 leads to y = -19. The answer is between A and D.
---------
If you repeat those steps for x = -1, then you should get y = -15
Then x = 0 leads to y = -9
x = 1 leads to y = -1
Finally, x = 2 leads to y = 9
The outputs we get are: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 which is choice A
Choice D is fairly close, but we won't have a second copy of -15, and we don't have an output of -19.
