16. 10 ml of 20% saline and 40 ml of 10% saline
Step-by-step explanation:
A chemist takes x ml of 20% saline and y ml of 10% saline. In total, he takes
x + y ml that is 50 ml, so
There are ml of salt in x ml of 20% saline and
ml of salt in 10% saline. There are
ml of salt in 50 ml of 12% saline. Thus,
15. We get the system of two equations:
16. Solve this system. From the first equation:
Substitute it into the second equation:
Using the elimination method, the value of x in the system of equations is calculated as: 8.
<h3>How to Solve a System of Equations by Elimination?</h3>To solve a system of equations given using the elimination method, do the following:
Multiply 2x - 5y = 1 by 2 and multiply -3x + 2y = -18 by 5 to get the following:
4x - 10y = 2 --> eqn. 1
-15x + 10y = -90 --> eqn. 2
Add
-11x = -88
Divide both sides by -11
x = 8

I think it’s 90 just add them up the subtract 180
