Algebra.Com's Answer #550813 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We have 11 qt of 25% antifreeze \n" ); document.write( "We want to add some 100% antifreeze to make 41% antifreeze \n" ); document.write( "1*x+0.25*11=0.41(11+x) \n" ); document.write( "1*x+2.75=4.51+0.41x \n" ); document.write( "1x-0.41x=4.51-2.75 \n" ); document.write( "0.59x=1.76 \n" ); document.write( "x=2.98305085 qt at 100% (2.98305085) is added to 11 qt at 25%(2.75) to make 41% of 13.9830508 qt(5.73305085) \n" ); document.write( "check \n" ); document.write( "1*2.98305085+0.25*11=0.41(11+2.98305085) \n" ); document.write( "2.98305085+2.75=0.41(13.9830508) \n" ); document.write( "5.73305085=5.73305085 \n" ); document.write( "ok \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
