It is blury. take an anther pic please
So solve for the placeholder D
D/12=0.25
multiply both sides by 12 to clear fraction
12D/12=0.25 times 12
D(12/12)=3
D(1)=3
D=3
Answer:
Amount of vinegar. 100% : 20 milliliters
Amount of Italian dressing: 140 milliliters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the amount of vinegar. 100%
Let's call B the amount of Italian dressing . 12% vinegar
The resulting mixture should have 23% vinegar, and 160 milliliters.
Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:


Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -1 and add it to the second equation:


+

--------------------------------------



We substitute the value of B into one of the two equations and solve for A.
