I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know AC = BC since this is an isosceles triangle
6 = 2x+2
Subtract 2 from each side
6-2 =2x+2-2
4 =2x
Divide each side by 2
4/2 =2x/2
2=x

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is .
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is . Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction simplifies to .
