At the end of Summer, Puss discovers that his radiator antifreeze solution has dropped below the safe level. If the radiator contains 4 gallons of a 25% antifreeze solution, how many gallons of pure antifreeze must he add to bring it up to a desired 50% solution? how to solve this and please solution

Let the amount of old stuff drained by x gallons

so you have 4-x gallons left of 25% solution

.25(4-x) + x = .5(4)
1 - .25x + x = 2
.75x = 1
(3/4)x = 1
x = 4/3

so drain 4/3 gallon of the current solution, then top it up with pure antifreeze

The new capacity is 4+x=y

Where x is the pure anti-freeze,
y is the total capacity.

4+x=y
0.25(4)+x=0.5y

1+x=2+0.5x
x=2

He needs to add 2 gallons of pure anti-freeze.
