Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will shorten Eric, and Bob's names as E, and B.

So the equations are this

B-E = B+E - 240, E as Eric, and B as Bob, and this E+B=9(E-B)

Move the variables and you get

-2E =- 240

Just divide them both by -2

and E=120

So when we know the value of E we can just plug it into the 1st question

120+B=9B+1080

Moves the Variables and numbers to the other side

8B=1200

1200/8= 150

B=150

There is Bob's weight

there is a beaker of 3.5% acid solution and a beaker of 6% acid solution in the science lab. Mr. Larson needs 200ml of 4.5% acid
disa [49]
Below are the choices:

A. 80 mL of the 3.5% solution and 120 mL of the 6% solution 

<span>B. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution </span>

<span>C. 140 mL of the 3.5% solution and 60 mL of the 6% solution </span>

<span>D. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution
</span>
Let fraction of 3.5% in final solution be p. 

<span>p * 3.5 + (1 - p) * 6 = 4.5 </span>

<span>3.5p + 6 - 6p = 4.5 </span>

<span>2.5p = 1.5 </span>

<span>p = 3/5 </span>

<span>3/5 * 200 = 120 </span>

<span>Therefore the answer is B. 120 ml of 3.5% and 80 ml of 6%.</span>
