A chemist has three different acid solutions,
The first solution contains 20 % acid, the second contains 35 % acid, and the third contains 55%
acid.
She created 108 liters of a 40 % acid mixture, using all three solutions. The number of liters of
55 % solution used is 3 times the number of liters of 35 % solution used.

Answer:

36 liters of 20%18 liters of 35%54 liters of 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c represent the quantities of 20%, 35%, and 55% solutions, respectively. Then for the given mix, we have ...

  a + b + c = 108 . . . . . total number of liters

  .20a +.35b +.55c = 0.40·108 . . . . . liters of acid

  0a - 3b + c = 0 . . . . . 55% solution was 3 times 35% solution

__

Solving these three equations by your favorite method gives ...

  (a, b, c) = (36, 18, 54)

The chemist used 36 liters of 20%, 18 liters of 35%, and 54 liters of 55%.

_____

Comment on alternate approach

Since the ratio of 55% to 35% is 3 : 1, that mix will have an acid content of ...

  (3(.55) +1(.35))/4 = 0.50 = 50%

So, the final mix is equivalent to some quantity of 50% mix being added to some quantity of 20% mix. The fraction that is 50% mix* will be (40-20)/(50-20) = 2/3 of the total, or (2/3)(108 L) = 72 L.

Now we know that (1/3)(108 L) = 36 L of 20% solution is needed and (1/4)(72 L) = 18 L of 35% solution is needed. 3 times that is 54 L of 55% solution.

__

* After you work a few mixture problems, you can see the pattern. If we start with an equation for x = fraction of 50% to use with 20% to make 40%, we get ...

  x(50%) +(1 -x)(20%) = 40%

  x(50% -20%) = 40% -20% . . . . . subtract 1(20%) and factor out x

  x = (40% -20%)/(50% -20%)

The key here is to see where the numbers 20%, 40%, and 50% show up in the fraction.

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are adding the absolute values of numbers the sign doesn't matter. So in this case the absolute value of 8 is 8. It is 8 units away from 0. The absolute value of -7 is 7, meaning it is 7 units away from 0. With this in mind you can add both of these numbers together as if they were positive. So 7+8

Answer:

X=19

Step-by-step explanation:

A full line must be 180 degrees and you already know that part of the line is 66 degrees. You do 180 minus 66 which gives you 114. That is the other unknown angle but it is asking for x, not the angle. You do 114 divided by 6 to get 19. Therefore, x=19.

passes through (-6,-1) and is parallel to y=-2/3x+1​

Answers

answer: y = -2/3x - 5

explanation: parallel slopes are the same, so the new equation would have a slope of -2/3. now, we have to find the y-intercept. to do this, plug in the x and y values for our new equation. we know that the standard form is y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept.
-1 = -2/3(-6) + b
multiply
-1 = 4 + b
subtract 4 on both sides
-5 = b
so our new equation is
y = -2/3x - 5
you can check by plugging in the x-value (-6)
y= -2/3(-6) - 5
to get
y= -1

Answer: m = 6

Step-by-step explanation: Start by writing down the slope formula.

m = 5 - (-7) / 5 - 3

m = 12 / 2

m = 6
