Answer:

20 liters of the 40% solution

60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

40%x+70%(60-x)=60%(60)

0.4x+0.7(60-x)=0.6(60)

0.4x+42-0.7x=36

-0.3x+42=36

-0.3x=-42+36

-0.3x=-6

0.3x=6

3x=60

x=60/3

x=20 liters of the 40% solution

60-20=40 liters of the 70% solution

check: 0.4*20=8

0.7*40=28

8+28=36 and 0.6*60=36 also

You have $284 in your credit card balance. 186-174= 12. 99+35= 134 and then 12-134= -122. So 406-122= 284.
