Carlon plans to evaporate a number of gallons of water from 90 gallons of a 15% salt solution to make a 25% salt solution. Which equation can he use to find x, the number of gallons that should be evaporated?

Amount of Salt

0

Amount of Solution
90
x

StartFraction 13.5 Over 90 minus x EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 100 EndFraction
StartFraction 13.5 Over x EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 100 EndFraction
13.5 (90 minus x) = 0.25
13.5 (90 minus x) = 25

actually the right answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

if you solve it you get x=36 but remember that x is the amount of water that you need to evaporate so if you want to check it just subtract it from 90 and the salt will be 25%

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
