Simplify both sides of the equation
(20)(4)= 4(5x+1)
Simplify
80 = 20x+4
Flip the equation
20x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from both sides
20x+4-4 = 80-4
20x = 76
Divide both sides by 20
20x/20 = 76/20
x= 3.8
There is one solution in this equation
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.

20x + 15y = 2000
x + y = 115
55+60=115
20 (55) + 15 (60)=2000
1100+900=2000
2000=2000
