How many liters of a 20% solution of acid That's 20% of x liters of solution which will include 0.20x liters of pure acid. should be added to 10 liters of a 30% solution of acid That's 30% of 10 liters of solution which will include 0.30(10) or 3 liters of pure acid. to obtain a 25% solution. That's 25% of x+10 liters of solution which will include 0.25(x+10) liters of pure acid. Therefore the equation is: 0.20x + 0.30(10) = 0.25(x+10) The first step is to multiply every term by 100 to remove the decimals: 20x + 30(10) = 25(x+10) You can finish solving that. Edwin
