1110 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of 26% juice.

Amount of tomato juice:

740 liters of 36% juice contains 0.36(740) = 266.4 liters of tomato juice

x liters of 26% juice contains 0.26x liters of tomato juice

The result will be x + 740 liters of the juice blend at a concentration of 30%. It contains 0.3(x + 740) liters of tomato juice.

266.4 + 0.26x = 0.3(x + 740)

266.4 + 0.26x = 0.3x + 222

-0.04x = -44.4

x = 1110

1110 liters

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
