Algebra.Com's Answer #382307 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A beaker contains 20mL of a solution that is 12% cetyl alcohol, a moisturizer often found in shampoo. How much of a solution that is 45% CEA should be added, so that the final mixture is 30% CEA? \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "CEA + CEA = CEA \n" ); document.write( "0.12*20 + 0.45x = 0.30(20+x) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "12*20 + 45x = 30*20 + 30x \n" ); document.write( "18*20 = 15x \n" ); document.write( "x = 24 mL (amt of 45% solution needed) \n" ); document.write( "======================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
