You have two beakers of acid solution. One beaker contains a 17% acid solution, and the other beaker contains a 91% ACID SOLUTION. How many liters of the 17% acid solution must you mix with the 91% acid solution to make 2 liters of a 56% acid solution? write the answer correct to two decimal places.
Answered by Reiny
amount of 17% solution --- x L
amount of 91% solution --- 2-x L

.17x + .91(2-x) = .56(2)

solve for x

.17x + 1.82 -.91x = 1.12
-.74x = -.7
x = -.7/-.74
x = .945
