Algebra.Com's Answer #76148 by scott8148(6628) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x=(gallons of 9%), so 10-x=(gallons of 25%)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(9%)+(10-x)(25%)=10(15%)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x=slower, so 2x=faster ... rt=d\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(3)+2x(3)=81\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
