The equation is 0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here you need 50ml of 12% alcohol solution.
You have 10% and 15% alcohol solutions.
Take volume of 10% alcohol solution to be x ml
Take volume of 15% alcohol solution to be y ml
Form equations;
x+y=50 ml--------------------------equation 1
0.1x +0.15 y= 12% of 50
0.1x+0.15y=6-----------------------equation 2
Now you have simultaneous equations, use a graph tool to solve for values of x and y as attached.
or use the mixture equation the get value of x
0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)
The values of x and y are ;
(x,y) (30,20) which means;
y is 20 ml of 15% alcohol
x is 30 ml of 10% alcohol
