A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?

.

Let x = liters of 40% iodine

then

4-x = liters of 80% iodine

Using algebra:

.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)

.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2

3.20-.40x = 2

x = 4 liters (40% iodine)

80% iodine:

4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)

Substitution method for 7x-2y=1 & x-2y=1
RUDIKE [14]
We want to use the Substitution method to solve
7x - 2y = 1          (1)
x - 2y = 1           (2)

From equation (1), obtain
2y = 7x - 1          (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
x - (7x - 1) = 1
-6x + 1 = 1
-6x = 0
x = 0

From (3), obtain
2y = 7*0 - 1 = -1
y = -1/2

Answer: (0, -1/2)  or x=0, y= -1/2.
