I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal

The fare of $(20 - 2.5) = $17.5 will maximize the total fare.
<h3>What is Differentiation?</h3>
Differentiation means the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. The speed is calculated as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.
Here, The operator for a round-trip fare of $20, carries an average of 500 people per day.
It is estimated that 20 fewer people will take the trip, for each $1 increase in fare.
for $x increase in fare, 20x less people will take the trip and at that time the total fare F is given by
f(x) =(20 + x)(500 - 20x)
f (x) = 10000 + 100x - 20x²
For f(x) to be maximum, the condition is dy/dx = 0
100 - 40x = 0
⇒ x = 2.5
Thus, the fare of $(20 - 2.5) = $17.5 will maximize the total fare.

Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
