How much of a spice that is 3% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 6% salt in order to make a spice that is 5% salt? pls me

Let x represents the ounces of first spice.

From the given statements, you draw a table as shown below:

                           ounces of spice         Percentage           ounces of salt

First spice                 x                              3%                            0.03x

Second spice           175                            6%                          175(0.06)

Final  mixture          x+ 175                         5%                        (x+175)(0.05)

Now, to solve for x;

Final spice = First spice + second spice

Subtract 10.5 on both sides we have;

Simplify:

Subtract 0.05x on both sides;

Simplify:

Divide both sides by -0.02, we get;

x = 87.5 ounces

Therefore, 87.5 ounces of spices i.e 3% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 6% salt in order to make a spice that is 5% salt

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.
