The answer is .75=a
2a+3=4a+5
-2a -2a
3 = 4a+5
-5 -5
3 = 4a
3/4 4/4
.75 = a
Answer
Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A
Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B
x + y = 180 y = 180 - x
.60x + .85y = .75(180)
.60x + .85y = 135 Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.
60x + 85y = 13500
60x + 85(180 - x) = 13500
60x + 15300 - 85x = 13500
-25x = -1800
x = 72ounces
y = 180 - 72
y = 108 ounces
