A druggist needs 25 liters of a solution that is 16% iodine. She has one solution that is 12 % iodine and another that is 37 %.

How many liters of each should a druggist mix together

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

What is the value of m in the equation ‡m - 3n=16, when n=8?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: m-3n=16

Solution,

or, m - 3n = 16

or, m - 3×8 = 16

or, m - 24 = 16

or, m = 16 + 24

or, m = 40

Therefore, the value of m is '40'

Solve the system of linear equations.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

1. No solution

2. Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve the system, set the equations equal to each other and solve for x.

2x - 5 = 2x + 7

-5 = 7

This is a false statement. This means there is no solution.

2. To solve the system, graph each equation.

y = -3/4 x - 5/2 has a y-intercept -5/2 and slope -3/4.

3x + 4y = -10 converts to y = -3/4x -5/2.

This graphs as the exact same line. This system has infinite solutions.

The area of a rectanglular sandbox is (5x + 40) feet. Factor 5x + 40 to find possible dimensions of the sandbox
kotegsom [21]
5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40

Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.

We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
