Answer:
x=1/2; y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-2=-2x-5
4x=2
x=1/2
y=-1-5
y=-6
2(4x-3)-7(x+1) first distribute
8x-6-7x+7 then combine the x's
<u>x+13 </u>
Answer:
60 oz of water to add
45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amt no. ounces in the first solution
and 105 - x = amt no. of ounces in the second solution
Ist solution contains 0% salt
2nd solution contains .35(105 - x) salt
.15(105= amt of salt in mix
So.
amt of salt in 1st solution + amt of salt in 2nd solution = amt of salt in the mix
0 + .35(105 - x) = .15(105)
Let's get rid of the fractions by multipying thru the equation by 100
35(105 - x) = 15(105)
3675 - 35x = 1575
-35x = -2100
x = 60 oz of water to add
105 - 60 = 45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
