Oj: x
Apple juice: (8-x)
.25x + .75(8-x) = .4(8)
.25x + 6 -.75x = 3.2
6 -0.5x = 3.2
-.5x = 3.2-6
-.5x = -2.8
x = 5.6
Apple juice: (8-x)
.25x + .75(8-x) = .4(8)
.25x + 6 -.75x = 3.2
6 -0.5x = 3.2
-.5x = 3.2-6
-.5x = -2.8
x = 5.6

OJ
.5(8) + x = 2+x
Total
8 + x
so
2+x = .4(8+x)
2 + x = 3.2 + .4 x
.6 x = 1.2
x = 2
.5(8) + x = 2+x
Total
8 + x
so
2+x = .4(8+x)
2 + x = 3.2 + .4 x
.6 x = 1.2
x = 2
