Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the other tiger is 11x - 14.

The total weight of the two tigers is 16x + 3. Subtract the weight of one (5x + 17) from this total; the result is the weight of the other tiger:

16x + 3

- ( 5x + 17)

11x - 14

The weight of the other tiger is 11x - 14.

Mathematics

72 pints of the first type

18 pints of the second type

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

Given

$x \to$ first type

$y \to$ second type

Final volume = 90; So:

x + y = 90

From the question, we understand that:

70% of x and 95% of y gives 75% of the fruit juice

This is represented as:

$70\% * x + 95\% * y = 75\%* 90$

Make x the subject in x + y = 90

x = 90 - y

Substitute: x = 90 - y in $70\% * x + 95\% * y = 75\% * 90$

$70\% * (90 - y) + 95\% * y = 75\% *90$

Express percentage as decimal

0.70 * (90 - y) + 0.95 * y = 0.75 * 90

Open brackets

63 - 0.70y + 0.95y = 67.5

Collect like terms

- 0.70y + 0.95y = 67.5 - 63

0.25y = 4.5

Divide both sides by 0.25

$y = \frac{4.5}{0.25}$

y = 18

Recall that: x = 90 - y

x = 90 - 18

x = 72
