Answer: 20 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x liter of 10% hydrogen peroxide solution is mixed with y liter of 25% hydrogen peroxide solution to create 30 liters of a 15% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Thus, Total quantity of mixture = 30

⇒ x + y = 30 ---------(1)

And, Total quantity of hydrogen in the mixture is the sum of total quantity of hydrogen in x liter and y liter,

⇒ 10 % of x +25 % of y = 15 % of 30

⇒ 10 x + 25 y = 450

⇒ 2 x + 5 y = 90 ------- (2)

Equation (2) - 2× Equation (1),

⇒ 3 y = 30

⇒ y = 10

Substitute this value in equation (1),

We get,

x + 10 = 30

⇒ x = 20,

Hence, the quantity of 10% solution chemist used to make the 15% solution = x liter = 20 liter.

To factor this quadratic equation into double brackets, you need to find two numbers that add together to equal 10, but also multiply to give you 9. These two numbers can be identified as 1 and 9, which will be the numbers you place in your parentheses as follows:
(x+1)(x+9)
