Mixed 3 liters 20% solutions with 2 liters 70% solution. what’s the final concentration,

The final concentration is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x the concentration of final solution.

3 liters of solution (1) with 20% concentration is mixed with 2 liters of 70% solution producing (3 + 2) = 5 liters of x% mixture.

Now 3 × (20%) + 2 × (70% = 5 (x%)

3 × 0.2 + 2 × 0.7 = 5 (0.1x)

0.6 + 1.4 = 0.05x

2 = 0.5x

x = 2/0.05

= 40%

The final concentration is 40%.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
