Assume that solution with 20% and 50% salt is x and y gallons respectively.

Therefore,

x+y = 300 => y=300-x

Additionally
20x+50y = 300*41 = 12300

Substituting for y

20x+50(300-x) = 12300 => 20x+15000-50x = 123000 => -30x = -2700

x= 90 gallons
y= 300-x = 300 - 90 =210 gallons

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Area of rectangular garden = lxb = 10*5

                                             = 50 sq. inch

when area increases by six times

new area = 50*6 = 300 sq inches

now,

let x be increasement in both  length and width

(5+x) (10+x) = 300

50 + 5x + 10x + x² = 300

x² + 15x - 250 = 0

x²+ 25x-10x -250 = 0

x(x+25) - 10 (x+25) = 0

( x-10) (x+25) = 0

either x + 25 =0

x = -25 length can be negative

0r x-10 = 0

x = 10

so 10 inches is increase on both side
