Allegation is a method to find the ratio in which two or more indignant are mixed to produce a mixture or solution.

The equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed is,

0.5x+0.9y=6

Thus the option 3 is the correct option.

<h3>What is allegation?</h3>

Allegation is a method to find the ratio in which two or more indignant are mixed to produce a mixture or solution.

Given information-

A scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid.

The percentage of two acid solution are 50% and 90%.

Variable<em> x</em><em> </em>represent the number of liters of the 50% solution.

Variable<em> y </em>represent the number of liters of the 90% solution.

Quantity of acid from 50% solution is 0.5x liters, and quantity of acid from 90% solution is 0.9x liters.

As the scientist needs 10 L of a solution that is 60% acid. Therefore the quantity of acid in 60 percent acid solution is,

a=10\times\dfrac{60}{100} \\a=6

Thus 6 liters of acid required by the scientist. As to get the 6 liters of acid from 50% and 90 percent solution, we need to add the amount of acid in these solutions.Thus,

0.5x+0.9y=6

This is the required equation.

Hence the equation represents the total liters of acid that are needed is,

0.5x+0.9y=6

Thus the option 3 is the correct option.

Answer:

\displaystyle A .20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>By </u><u>tangent</u><u> </u><u>theorem</u><u> </u>we acquire:

\displaystyle  x + 10 = 9 + 21

simplify addition:

\displaystyle  x + 10 = 30

cancel 10 from both sides:

\displaystyle  x = 20

hence,

our answer is A

PLEASE HELP WITH EXPLANATION <br><br> F(x) = 3 - x; g(x) = -2x <br><br> find f(g(2))
ioda

Given,

f(x) = 3 - x

and

g(x) = -2x

Now,

g(2) =  - 2(2) =  - 4

f(g(2)) = 3 - ( - 4) = 3 + 4 = 7
