Mixture problems with solutions.

Mixture problems and their solutions are presented along with their solutions. Percentages are also used to solve these types of problems.

Problem 1: How many liters of 20% alcohol solution should be added to 40 liters of a 50% alcohol solution to make a 30% solution?

Problem 2: John wants to make a 100 ml of 5% alcohol solution mixing a quantity of a 2% alcohol solution with a 7% alcohol solution. What are the quantities of each of the two solutions (2% and 7%) he has to use?

Problem 3: Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver. How many grams of Sterling Silver must be mixed to a 90% Silver alloy to obtain a 500g of a 91% Silver alloy?

Problem 4: How many Kilograms of Pure water is to be added to 100 Kilograms of a 30% saline solution to make it a 10% saline solution.

Problem 5: A 50 ml after-shave lotion at 30% alcohol is mixed with 30 ml of pure water. What is the percentage of alcohol in the new solution?

Solution to Problem 5: The amount of the final mixture is given by 50 ml + 30 ml = 80 ml The amount of alcohol is equal to the amount of alcohol in pure water ( which is 0) plus the amount of alcohol in the 30% solution. Let x be the percentage of alcohol in the final solution. Hence 0 + 30% 50 ml = x (80) Solve for x x = 0.1817 = 18.75%

Problem 6: You add x ml of a 25% alcohol solution to a 200 ml of a 10% alcohol solution to obtain another solution. Find the amount of alcohol in the final solution in terms of x. Find the ratio, in terms of x, of the alcohol in the final solution to the total amount of the solution. What do you think will happen if x is very large? Find x so that the final solution has a percentage of 15%.

Solution to Problem 6: Let us first find the amount of alcohol in the 10% solution of 200 ml. 200 * 10% = 20 ml The amount of alcohol in the x ml of 25% solution is given by 25% x = 0.25 x The total amount of alcohol in the final solution is given by 20 + 0.25 x The ratio of alcohol in the final solution to the total amount of the solution is given by [ ( 20 + 0.25 x ) / (x + 200)] If x becomes very large in the above formula for the ratio, then the ratio becomes close to 0.25 or 25% (The above function is a rational function and 0.25 is its horizontal asymptote). This means that if you increase the amount x of the 25% solution, this will dominate and the final solution will be very close to a 25% solution. To have a percentage of 15%, we need to have [ ( 20 + 0.25 x ) / (x + 200)] = 15% = 0.15 Solve the above equation for x 20 + 0.25 x = 0.15 * (x + 200) x = 100 ml

Algebra Problems

Top Banner

Algebra problems are not only based on algebraic expressions but also on various types of equations in Maths where a quantity or variable is unknown to us. Many of us are familiar with the word problem, but are we aware of the fact and problems related to variables and constants? When we say 5 it means a number but what if we say x=5 or 5y or something like that?

This is where algebra came into existence algebra is that branch of mathematics which not only deals with numbers but also variable and alphabets. The versatility of Algebra is very deep and very conceptual, all the non-numeric character represents variable and numeric as constants. Let us solve some problems based algebra with solutions which will cover the syllabus for class 6, 7, 8. Below are some of the examples of algebraic expressions .

For example.

Algebra Word Problems deal with real-time situations and solutions which can be solved using algebra.

Basic Algebra Identities

Algebra problems With Solutions

Example 1: Solve, (x-1) 2 = [4√(x-4)] 2 Solution: x 2 -2x+1 = 16(x-4)

x 2 -2x+1 = 16x-64

x 2 -18x+65 = 0

(x-13) (x-5) = 0

Hence, x = 13 and x = 5.

Algebra Problems for Class 6

In class 6, students will be introduced with an algebra concept. Here, you will learn how the unknown values are represented in terms of variables.  The given expression can be solved only if we know the value of unknown variable. Let us see some examples.

Example: Solve, 4x + 5 when, x = 3.

Solution: Given, 4x + 5

Now putting the value of x=3, we get;

4 (3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17.

Example: Give expressions for the following cases:

(i) 12 added to 2x

(ii) 6 multiplied by y

(iii) 25 subtracted from z

(iv) 17 times of m 

(i) 12 + 2x

Algebra Problems for Class 7

In class 7, students will deal with algebraic expressions like x+y, xy, 32x 2 -12y 2 , etc. There are different kinds of the terminology used in case algebraic equations such as;

Let us understand these terms with an example. Suppose 4x + 5y is an algebraic expression, then 4x and 5y are the terms. Since here the variables used are x and y, therefore, x and y are the factors of 4x + 5y. And the numerical factor attached to the variables are the coefficient such as 4 and 5 are the coefficient of x and y in the given expression.

Any expression with one or more terms is called a polynomial. Specifically, a one-term expression is called a monomial; a two-term expression is called a binomial, and a three-term expression is called a trinomial.

Terms which have the same algebraic factors are like terms . Terms which have different algebraic factors are unlike terms . Thus, terms 4xy and – 3xy are like terms; but terms 4xy and – 3x are not like terms.

Example: Add 3x + 5x

Solution: Since 3x and 5x have the same algebraic factors, hence, they are like terms and can be added by their coefficient.

3x + 5x = 8x

Example: Collect like terms and simplify the expression: 12x 2 – 9x + 5x – 4x 2 – 7x + 10.

Solution: 12x 2 – 9x + 5x – 4x 2 – 7x + 10

= (12 – 4)x 2 – 9x + 5x – 7x + 10

=  8x 2 – 11x + 10

Algebra Problems for Class 8

Here, students will deal with algebraic identities. See the examples.

Example: Solve (2x+y) 2

Solution: Using the identity: (a+b) 2  = a 2 + b 2 + 2 ab, we get;

(2x+y) = (2x) 2 + y 2 + 2.2x.y = 4x 2 + y 2 + 4xy

Example: Solve (99) 2 using algebraic identity.

Solution: We can write, 99 = 100 -1

Therefore, (100 – 1 ) 2

= 100 2 + 1 2 – 2 x 100 x 1  [By identity: (a -b) 2 = a 2 + b 2 – 2ab

= 10000 + 1 – 200

Algebra Word Problems

Question 1: There are 47 boys in the class. This is three more than four times the number of girls. How many girls are there in the class?

Solution: Let the number of girls be x

As per the given statement,

4 x + 3 = 47

4x = 47 – 3

Question 2: The sum of two consecutive numbers is 41. What are the numbers?

Solution: Let one of the numbers be x.

Then the other number will x+1

Now, as per the given questions,

x + x + 1 = 41

2x + 1 = 41

So, the first number is 20 and second number is 20+1 = 21

Linear Algebra Problems

There are various methods For Solving the Linear Equations

There are Variety of different Algebra problem present and are solved depending upon their functionality and state. For example, a linear equation problem can’t be solved using a quadratic equation formula and vice verse for, e.g., x+x/2=7 then solve for x is an equation in one variable for x which can be satisfied by only one value of x. Whereas x 2 +5x+6 is a quadratic equation which is satisfied for two values of x the domain of algebra is huge and vast so for more information.

How to solve math problems?

Although the method which one is going to use when solving a math problem depends on the exact issue in question, there are general steps and guidelines one can follow. This is the reason why so many students are looking for a math problem solver. Having it on hand will definitely speed up the whole process. Here are the strategies that might come in handy. Having familiarized yourself with these tips, you won’t even have to search for a free math problem solver.

The first step you need to take is to understand the problem. Begin with identifying the type of the problem and determine whether it is a fraction, a quadratic equation or a word problem. This is one of the most significant aspects even if you are searching for a math problem solver with steps as it helps you figure out what you are supposed to do. The next step is to read the problem carefully and don’t attempt to solve it right away. If you realize that it’s too complex, find an online math problem solver to get qualified assistance with your assignment. What is vital to mention is that sometimes it takes time to figure out how to best approach the task at hand. Then, try to create a visual representation of the problem to better understand how to deal with it. Drawing a problem is a smarter choice than looking for a free math problem solver as you acquire new skills as well as complete your assignment on your own. Another great tip is to look for patterns when you are reviewing your problem and the available information. The reason why these patterns are important is because finding them will lead to the needed math problem solver you’ve been looking for all this time.

Having gathered all the information you need, it’s time to get down to developing a plan on how you are going to deal with your issue without using a free math problem solver. If you are in need of a math problem solver with steps, what you need to do next is figure out the formulas you’re going to use to complete your math assignment. Then, write down a step-by-step guide on all the things you are supposed to do to solve your problem and start working on it to get the correct answer. This process may be time-consuming as you need to double-check that the method you have chosen is the right one. While you are solving the problem, try to look for alternatives in order to check all the possible variants. Ask for help from an online math problem solver if necessary. Compare the answers you got to your estimates. When you are done, allocate some time to reflect on the problem, as well as make sure you have chosen the correct solution. Solving a math problem sometimes takes more time and effort. Yet, you’ll be really pleased when you manage to complete such an assignment on your own.

Short Answer

In problems \(15\) and \(16\) interpret each statement as a differential equation. on the graph of \(y = \phi (x)\) the rate at which the slope changes with respect to x at a point \(p(x,y)\) is the negative of the slope of the tangent line at \(p(x,y)\)..

The differential equation is \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = {x^2} + {y^2}\).

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: define a derivative of the function..

The derivative of a function of a real variable in mathematics describes the sensitivity of the function value (output value) to changes in its argument (input value).

Calculus uses derivatives as a fundamental tool. When a derivative of a single-variable function exists at a given input value, it is the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point.

Step 2: Determine the differential equation for the height.

Let the slope of the tangent line of the graph of \(y = \phi (x)\) at the point \(P(x,y)\) be \(y'\).

And let the rate at which the slope changes be \(y''\).

Hence, the statement describes the differential equation,

\(y'' = - y'\)

\(y'' + y' = 0\).

Most popular questions for Math Textbooks

In Problems \(31 - 34\) find values of m so that the function \(y = m{e^{mx}}\) is a solution of the given differential equation.

\(y' + 2y = 0\)

In Problems \(1 - 8\( state the order of the given ordinary differential equation. Determine whether the equation is linear or nonlinear by matching it with \((6)\(.

\({\left( {\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}} \right)^2} = \sqrt {1 + {{\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)}^2}} \(

In Problems 27–30 use (12) of Section 1.1 to verify that the indicated function is a solution of the given differential equation. Assume an appropriate interval I of definition of each solution.

\(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} - 2xy = {e^{{x_z}}}; y = {e^{{x^2}}}\int_0^x {{e^{t - {t^2}}}} dt\)

Raindrops Keep Falling In meteorology the term virga refers to falling raindrops or ice particles that evaporate before they reach the ground. Assume that a typical raindrop is spherical. Starting at some time, which we can designate as t = 0, the raindrop of radius r0 falls from rest from a cloud and begins to evaporate.

(a) If it is assumed that a raindrop evaporates in such a manner that its shape remains spherical, then it also makes sense to assume that the rate at which the raindrop evaporates—that is, the rate at which it loses mass—is proportional to its surface area. Show that this latter assumption implies that the rate at which the radius r of the raindrop decreases is a constant. Find r(t). (Hint: See Problem 55 in Exercises 1.1.)

(b) If the positive direction is downward, construct a mathematical model for the velocity v of the falling raindrop at time t > 0. Ignore air resistance. (Hint: Use the form of Newton’s second law of motion given in (17).)

In Problems \(1\) and \(2\) Fill in the blank and then write this result as a linear first-order differential equation that is free of the symbol \({c_1}\) and has the form \(dy/dx = f(x,y)\). The symbol \({c_1}\) represents a constant.

\(\frac{d}{{dx}}{c_1}{e^{10x}} = \_\_\_\_\_\)
