Acertain solution of salt water is 10% salt and weighs 50 pounds. more salt must be added to produce a solution that is 25% salt. if x represents the pounds of salt to be added, which of the following expressions represents the number of pounds of salt in the 25% solution?

the range is 19

step-by-step explanation:

the range is biggest number minus the smallest, so in this case it would be

41 - 22 = 19

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
