Let’s call the number of gallons of 30% solution “x”. If we mix together 40 gallons and x gallons of solution, we’re going to come out with a total of 40 + x gallons of that 20% solution. Mathematically, this is
40(12%) + x(30%) = (40 + x)(20%)
With the percents as decimals:
40(0.12) + x(0.3) = (40 + x)(0.2)
Simplifying, we have:
4.8 + 0.3x = 8 + 0.2x
Collecting the x terms on one side and the constants on the other:
0.1x = 3.2
And multiplying both sides by 10 to find x:
x = 32
So, you’ll need 32 gallons of 30% solution to yield 40 + 32 = 72 gallons of 20% solution.

Answer:
The amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's "x" be amount of water in (liters) added to 15 liters of 40% of sugar syrup.
Now find the amount of sugar syrup = 40% of 15
= 0.4 × 15
The amount of sugar syrup = 6 Liters
To dilute 30% we need to find amount of water to be added.
So,
30% of (15 + x) = 6
0.3 × (15 + x) = 6
4.5 + 0.3x = 6
0.3x = 6 - 4.5
0.3x = 1.5
Dividing both sides, by 0.3, we get
x = 5
So, the amount of water need to be added is 5 liters.

Answer:
(-7, -10)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x and y in double variable equation
y = 2x + 4
y = x - 3
y = x - 3, plug in to first equation
x - 3 = 2x + 4
x = -7
y = -7 - 3
y = -10
(-7, -10)
