Answer to Problem 42HP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The Equation:
Concept Used:
In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.
Here, for example, 5x + 9 is the expression on the left-hand side, which is equal to the expression 24 on the right-hand side. i.e. 5x+9 = 24 is an equation.
Calculation:
Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality:
If
The property that states that if you add or subtract the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal (i.e., the equation continues to be true.)
Multiplication and Division Properties of Equality:
If
If
In other words, if two expressions are equal to each other and you multiply or divide (except for 0) the exact same constant to both sides, the two sides will remain equal.
Given the Equation:

The flow rates of these streams are not yet known and thus to be found. The combined water inflow from the streams is 300 m³/h. The rate of Stream A is three times the combined rates of Stream B and Stream C. The rate of Stream B is 50 m³/h less than half of the difference between the rates of Stream A and Stream C. Find the flow rates of the three streams by setting up an equation system Ax = b and solving it for x. Provide the values of A and b.
