Let the masses of each be A grams of liquid A and B grams of liquid B.
Density for A is 3 grams per ml.
Density for B is 4 grams per ml.
1 ml. is 1 cm^3.

Volume for the mixture is .
Mass for the mixture is , in grams.

The system of equations for this is , and best to start by simplifying the volume equation.

-------- of liquid A.
Now use this to evaluate the value of B.
