X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.


how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x

long way
12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x6 x5 x4 x3x2/ 10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x
but you can shorten that by crossing out identical numbers so you get 12 x 11
12 x 11 = 132 combinations
Answer:
5 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The two numbers according to Bryan are x and 3x+3. According to Lori they are x and 5x-7. So we know that x+3x+3=x+5x-7. x and x cancel out. 3 and 7 add to 10. 5x-3x=2x. So 2x=10. X=5 and the other number is 18.
