Answer 2

Answer:

40 grams of 13% alcohol solution and 10 grams of 18% alcohol solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

13%(x) + 18%(50-x) = 14%*50g   Multiply them all

0.13x + (9-0.18x) = 7

0.13x-0.18x + 9 = 7   Simplify the equation and subtract 0.13x from 0.18x

9-0.05x = 7   Add 0.05x to each side

9 = 7+0.05x   Subtract 7 from both sides

0.05x = 2   Multiply each side by 100

5x = 200   Divide both sides by 5

x = 40

50 - 40 = 10

40 grams and 10 grams
