2 litres every 2.5 minutes is 4 litres every 5 minutes so therefore, it is 0.8 litres/minute (800ml per minutes)
<span>Evaluate the expression 5a + 5b. Let a = -6 and b = -5.
n = 5a + 5b
n = 5(-6) + 5(-5)
n = -30 + -25
n = -55
Hope this helps

If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500
litres, and it contains
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375
litres of alcohol.
Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>
<em />
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :
0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375
0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375
75 = 0.25<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 300
Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 500 - 300
<em>y</em> = 200
So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.
