You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First name the variables.
\n" ); document.write( "A-gallons of 20% solution
\n" ); document.write( "B-gallons of 10% solution
\n" ); document.write( "Then set up an equation for the total volume of solution.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BB=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then set up an equation for the concentration of the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "\"20A%2B10B=16%28A%2BB%29=16%2840%29=640\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"2A%2BB=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve it using substitution, elimination, etc. to get A and B.
\n" ); document.write( "Re=post if you get stuck.
\n" ); document.write( "
