How many gallons of a 30% alcohol solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of a 14%

solution to obtain a solution that is 20% alcohol

5 answers

number of gallons of the 30% stuff --- x

.3x + .14(60) = .2(60+x)
30x + 14(60) = 20(60+x)
30x + 840 = 1200 +20x
10x = 360
x = 36
.3*V+.14*60=.2*(V+60)

solve for V
(2x2y2-3xy+4)(4xy2)
