Question

I need the equation for this ASAP!

Answer 1

Answer:

5.714 liters of the 5% solution and 4.286 of the 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the volume of 40% solution and y = volume of the 5% solution.

x + y = 10

0.40x + 0.05y = 0.20(x + y)

From the first equation x = 10 -y so we have:

0.40(10 - y) + 0.05y = 0.20( 10 - y + y)

4 - 0.40y + 0.05y = 2

-0.35y = -2

y = 5.714 liters of the 5%.

and x =  10 - 5.714 = 4.286  liters of the 40% solution.
