Two tanks contain equal amounts of water. They are connected by a pipe and 3000 liters of water is pumped from one tank to the other. One tank then contains 6 times as much water as the other.?

say x= the amount of water in one tank
x+3000=6(x-3000) (you subtract 3000 from one tank and give it to the other)
x+3000=6x-18000
21000=5x
21000/5=x
4200=x

A chemist wants to make a 10 solution of fertilizer. how much water and how much of a 30 solution should the chemist mix to get 30 L of a 10 solution?
30 liters of a 10 % solution of fertilizer has .1(30) = 3 liters of fertilizer 1 liter of 30% solution has .3 liter of fertilizer 10 liters of 30% solution has 3 liters of fertilizer so, the chemist needs 10 liters of the 30% solution and 20 liters of water to make 30 liters of a 10% solution.
How many liters of water must be added to 7 liters of a 20 percent acid solution to obtain a 10 percent acid solution?
7 liters of a 20% acid solution consists of 1.4 liters of acid (20% of the total volume) mixed with 5.6 liters of water (80% of the total volume). The amount of acid isn't going to change in the new solution. You are just going to add enough water to make it a 10% solution instead of a 20% solution. So it will be more dilute. That means that 1.4 liters of acid will represent 1/10 of the volume of the new solution. So the total volume of the new solution will be 10 x 1.4 or 14 liters. The amount of water in the new solution will be 14 - 1.4 = 12.6 liters. That is a difference of 12.6 - 5.6 = 7 liters from the amount of water you started with. So you need to add 7 liters of water to the original 20% solution to make it a 10% solution. This makes sense because if you double the amount of the mixture from 7 liters to 14 liters and the amount of acid is unchanged, the solution will be half as strong.
Two tanks contain equal amounts of water They are connected by a pipe and 3000 liters of water is pumped from one tank to the other One tank then contains 6 times as much water as the other How man?
4200 litres 4200 - 3000 = 1200 4200 + 3000 = 7200 1200 * 6 = 7200 don't know how you would make a simple equation to work out other variables (greater or lesser amounts of water) i got to this answer through trial and error.
