I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
3 1/3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the unit rate. 2 1/2 is the numerator because distance is usually the numerator when it comes to unit rates. 3/4 is the denominator.
Answer: 11.2 because I know trust me. I did a worksheet with this same question and got 11.2 and it was correct.

Four angles must add up to 360.
∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D=360
(5/2x+30)+(7/2x+40)+(9/2x+10)+(5/2x+20)=360
26/2x + 100 = 360
13x = 260
x = 20.
To solve for ∠C, plug x back in:
∠C = 9/2x+10 = 9/2*20+10 = 100
