The volume of the 12% salt solution to be added is; 2.5 gallons.

<h3>Ratio and Proportion of Volume</h3>

Let the volume of 12% required be x and the new volume of the mixture be (x+5).

On this note, it follows that;

  • 12x + 15(5) = 14(5+x)

  • 12x + 75 = 70 + 14x.

Hence, -2x = -5

Divide both side by -2;

  • x = -5/-2

x = 2.5 gallons.

Answer:

121.76

Step-by-step explanation:

the original price is 83.97. you would have to find 45% of that. you would do this by putting x/83.97= 45/100

multiply 45 and 83.97 to get 3778.65. then divide that by 100 to get 37.7865. Add that to 83.97 to get 121.7565. round it to the nearest hundreth to get the total of 121.76 dollars

Find and simplify the difference quotient of the​ form, <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bf%28x%2Bh%29-f%28x%29%7D%7Bh
Anastasy [175]

With f(x)=-10x+9, we have

f(x+h) = -10(x+h) + 9 = -10x + 9 - 10h

Then the difference quotient is

\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{(-10x+9-10h)-(-10x+9)}h = \dfrac{-10h}h = -10

since <em>h</em> ≠ 0.
