| Algebra.Com's Answer #200735 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)     You can put this solution on YOUR website! In Chemistry class, 6 liters of a 4% silver iodide solution must be mixed with a 10% solution to get a 6% solution. How many liters of the 10% solution are needed? \n" ); document.write( "I keep coming up with 6 liters but i am not sure that this is correct \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "Lets see if it is: \n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of 10% solution required \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ".04(6) + .10x = .06(x+6) \n" ); document.write( ".24 + .10x = .06x + .36 \n" ); document.write( ".10x - .06x = .36 - .24 \n" ); document.write( ".04x = .12 \n" ); document.write( "x = \n" ); document.write( "x = 3 liters of 10% solution required, not sure what you did to get 6 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
