Hi, 

chemist needs 140 milliliters of a 36% solution    

Let x and (140ml-x) represent represent the amounts of the 44% and 30% respectively

Question states***

 Mixing to form the 36% solution

 .44x + .30(140ml-x)= .36*140ml

    .14x = .06*140ml

        x = .06*140ml/.14 

        x = 60ml, the amount of the 44 % solution.  80ml the amount of 30% solution



CHECKING our Answer

  .44*60ml + .30*80ml = 26.4ml + 24ml = .36*140ml   = 50.4ml
