Answer:

21 liters of the 12% solution and 4 liters of the 37% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of liters of the first solution as x and the second as y. Now, the total liters of iodine is going to be 16% of 25 = 4 liters of iodine, and the total liters of each solution is going to be 25. Now, we can setup two equations:

0.12x+0.37y = 4

x + y = 25

Multiplying the bottom equation by 0.12, we have

0.12x + 0.12y = 3

Subtracting, we have

0.12x+0.37y=4

-

0.12x + 0.12y = 3

= 0.25y = 1

= y = 4

= x = 25 - 4 = 21

A small square of side 2x is cut from the corner of a rectangle with a width of 10 centimeters and length of 20 centimeters. Wri
love history [14]
Find the area of the rectangle. You can find the area of a rectangle with the following formula:

A = wl

w = width, and l = length.

Plug in your width and length:

20 * 10 = 200

The area of the rectangle is 200 square centimeters.

The area of a square is also given by width * length. Multiply the sides together:

2x * 2x = 4x^{2}

The area of a square is 4x^2.

Because you're cutting away the square from the rectangle, you will subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle. The following equation will be your answer:

200 - 4x^{2} cm^{2}
