Let the amount of the first brand be x, and let the amount of the second brand be y.
0.09x + 0.14y = 240 * 0.13 .................(1)
x + y = 240 ..............(2)
y = 240 - x .......................(3)
Plugging the value for y from equation (3) into equation (1), we get:
0.09x+0.14(240-x)=240\times0.13 ...............(4)
Equation (4) simplifies to:
-0.05x = -2.4
giving the value for the required amount of 9% vinegar as 48 ml and the required amount of 14% vinegar as 240 - 48 = 192 ml.

What is the value of f(7)
kkurt [141]
F(7) means f(x) when x = 7. The x is replaced with 7.

So we'll replace every x with 7 to go from x = 7 to 3-x = 3-7 = -4

Put another way
f(x) = 3-x
f(7) = 3-7
f(7) = -4

Answer: -4
