Algebra.Com's Answer #91058 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! how many liters of water must be evaporated from 10L of 40% salt solution to produce a 50% solution \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt to be evaporated \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "write a salt amt equation \n" ); document.write( "(the amt of salt remains the same only the amt of water changes, thus changing the percent) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ".40(10) = .50(10-x) \n" ); document.write( "4 = 5 - .5x \n" ); document.write( "+.5x = 5 - 4 \n" ); document.write( "1x = 2(1); multiply equation by 2 to get rid of the .5x \n" ); document.write( "x = 2 liters of water has to be evaporated\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Check for equality \n" ); document.write( ".4(10) = .5(10-2) \n" ); document.write( "4 = .5(8) \n" ); document.write( " |
