500 I guess it’s not right
We have 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze.
How much 70% antifreeze do we add to get 60% antifreeze?
We'll make "x" the gallons of 70% we must add.
.20 * 60 + .70 x = .60 * (60 + x)
12 + .70x = 36 + .60x
.10x = 24
x = 240 gallons of 70% antifreeze.

Shelby mistake is 11;4 is not the correct mixed number
First, we have to find the length of each side of triangle. Equilateral triangle means 3 sides r in same length, so each side will be 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Now we need to calculate the height of the triangle. We can do this by Pythagoras theorem
Let the height be h
(7/2)^2 + x^2 = 7^2
The area should be 6.0621778265
Or u can say 6.06 corrected to 3 sig fig
