How many gallons of a 25 percent saline solution and a 35 percent solution must be mixed together to get 220 Gallons of 30 percent saline solution.
-----
Equation:
salt + salt = salt
0.25x + 0.35(220-x) = 0.30*220
------------
25x + 35*220 - 35x = 30*220
-----------
-10x = -5*220
---
x = (1/2)220
---
x = 110 Gallons (amt. of 25% solution needed)
220-x = 110 Gallons (amt. of 35% solution needed)
