Suppose x quarts of the 50% solution
0.5x+0.2*20=0.4(x+20)
0.5x+4=0.4x+8
0.1x=4
x=40
Answer:
The definition of a linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term has an exponent of one and the graphing of the equation results in a straight line. An example of linear equation is y=mx + b.

- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
x - 5y = -40
18x - 5y = 45
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
18x - 5y = 45
- Multiply both sides by -1: -18x + 5y = -45
<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>
x - 5y = -40
-18x + 5y = -45
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine equations: -17x = -85
- Divide -17 on both sides: x = 5
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define equation: x - 5y = -40
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 5 - 5y = -40
- Isolate <em>y</em> term: -5y = -45
- Isolate <em>y</em>: y = 9
