Two water tanks, Tank A and Tank B, are being filled. Tank A starts with \(450\) liters of water and is being filled at a rate of \(12.5\) liters per minute. Tank B starts with \(125\) liters of water and is being filled at a rate of \(25.5\) liters per minute. After how many minutes, \(m\), will Tank B contain exactly \(150\) liters more water than Tank A?

A chemist is mixing two acid solutions. Solution A is \(20\%\) acid and Solution B is \(50\%\) acid. The chemist needs to create \(60\) liters of a new mixture that is \(40\%\) acid.

Part A: Let \(x\) be the volume, in liters, of Solution A used. Write a linear equation in terms of \(x\) that represents the total amount of acid in the final mixture.
Part B: Solve the equation to find the volume of Solution A and Solution B required for the mixture.
Part C: If the chemist accidentally used \(10\) liters more of Solution B than calculated in Part B while keeping the total volume at \(60\) liters, what is the new acid percentage of the mixture?

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 10

4 marks

Consider the equation involving a constant \(k\):

\(5(2x - 3) - kx = 4x + 7\)

Part A: For what value of \(k\) will the equation have no solution?
Part B: If \(k = 2\), solve the equation for \(x\).
