Algebra.Com's Answer #118532 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let X be the volume of 44% solution and Y the volume for 92% solution, \n" ); document.write( "The total volume equation is \n" ); document.write( "1. \n" ); document.write( "The total concentration equation is \n" ); document.write( "2. \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 100 to get rid of decimals, \n" ); document.write( "2. \n" ); document.write( "Use eq. 1 to get X in terms of Y, \n" ); document.write( "1. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now substitute into eq. 2, \n" ); document.write( "2. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "From eq. 1, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Use 80 ml of 44% solution and 40 ml of 92% solution. \n" ); document.write( " |
