Algebra.Com's Answer #410422 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have 18 milliliters of a 45% alcohol solution. How many milliliters of a 51% alcohol solution needs to be added to make a 49% alcohol solution? \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "alcohol + alcohol = alcohol \n" ); document.write( "0.45*18 + 0.51x = 0.49(18+x) \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get: \n" ); document.write( "45*18 + 51x = 49*18 + 49x \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "2x = 4*18 \n" ); document.write( "x = 36 ml (amt of 51% solution to add) \n" ); document.write( "========================================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "=========================== \n" ); document.write( " |
