He will mix some 20% solution and some 70% solution to make 60% solution.
Let x = number of liters of 20% solution.
Let y = number of liters of 70% solution.
He wants to make 50 liters of 60% solution, so
x + y = 50 First Equation
The amount of acid in x amount of 20% solution is 20% of x, or 0.2x
The amount of acid in y amount of 70% solution is 70% of y, or 0.7y
The amount of acid in 50 liters of 60% solution is 60% of 50 liters, or 0.6 * 50 = 30
Now we add the amounts of acid.
0.2x + 0.7y = 30 Second Equation
x + y = 50
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
-0.2x - 0.2y = -10
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
------------------------
0.5y = 20
y = 40
x + y = 50
x + 40 = 50
x = 10
Answer: He needs 10 liters of 20% solution and 40 liters of 70% solution.
5x = -1
x = -1/5 = -0.2
That means that any ordered pair for the line will be (-0.2, y)
You can put any number in for y.
So two ordered pairs could be:
(-0.2, 1)
and
(-0.2, 2)
Answer:
.05 im sure of it hope it helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:
1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11
set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1
sub “o” into one of the eqn
5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2
therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20
