9 is the answer negatives cancel out creating positve
175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.
Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:
(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45
Solve for <em>v</em> :
43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)
43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>
0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL
<em>v</em> = 140 mL
4=2c-12-4
4=2c-16
20=2c
10=c
