Algebra.Com's Answer #80384 by wgunther(43) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x)=.8-.1x, where x is the amount drained, so f is the amount of an anti-freeze stil in the car. We're assuming that this mixtured is \"well mixed\" of course. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The amount of fluid drained is equal to the amount of antifreeze we are adding. So .8-.1x+x= the amount of antifreeze in the car after refilling it. We want this number, divided by 8 to be .25. So. |
