Y + 4x = 8
y = 8 - 4x
substitute 8 - 4x for y in the other equation.
5x + 2(8 - 4x) = 13
5x + 16 - 8x = 13
-3x = -3
x = 1
y = 8 - 4(1) = 4
4/11 * 10/8
= 1/11 * 10/2
= 1/11 * 5
= 5/11
answer 5/11
you got it correct
I will help you but I need to know what you need help with , find the area or volume?
Answer:
2 gallons of pure alcohol
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of gallons of pure alcohol needed, and create an equation:
4(0.25) + x(1) = (x + 4)0.5
1 + x = 0.5x + 2
x = 0.5x + 1
0.5x = 1
x = 2
So, 2 gallons of pure alcohol should be added.
First off, let's convert the percentages to decimal format, so our 77% turns to 77/100 or 0.77, and our 55% turns to 55/100 or 0.55 and so on
now, the sum of both salines, must add up to the 77% mixture, let's say is "y"
so, 11 + 4 = y, and whatever the concentration level is, must also sum up to the mixture's concentration of 77%
anyway thus
solve for "x"
