Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
I assume you mean 9+52,
If so you can add the 9 and the 2 together:
9+2 = 11
Then you can add the 11 on to the 50 to get the final answer:
50+11 = 61
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
15 4/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Combine on the right side
</u>
<u>Step 2: Divide both sides by 90
</u>
Answer:
X+y+z=51
y=2z
z=9+x
subsitute those
x+2z+9+x=51
x+2(9+x)+9+x=51
x+18+2x+9+x=51
4x+27=51
minus 27 both sides
4x=24
divide by 4
x=6
sub back
z=9+x
z=9+6
z=15
y=2z
y=2(15)
y=30
the numbers are
6,30,15
