X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing
Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.
We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80
next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16
Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240

Answer: $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
15/10=1.5
Explanation:
1. Identify the different constellations of variables. Here there are three:
2. Combine coefficients of each of the different variable constellations:
(8.1 -2.8)b +(6.7 +0.9)a +(2.5 +7)
5.3b +7.8a +9.5
3. Perform any other operations that might be required depending on the sort of equivalent wanted. For example, one could write ...
5.3(b +(78/53)a) +9.5 . . . . . . . shows the weight of a relative to b
