Algebra.Com's Answer #511433 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A solution that is 34% antifreeze is going to be enriched by adding pure antifreeze. How much of each is needed to generate 4 gallons of a solution that is 63% antifreeze? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "let x = amt of 34% solution \n" ); document.write( "the total amt is to be 4 gal, therefore \n" ); document.write( "(4-x) = amt of pure antifreeze \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ".34x + (4-x) =.63(4) \n" ); document.write( ".34x + 4 - x = 2.52 \n" ); document.write( "-.66x = 2.52 - 4 \n" ); document.write( "-.66x = -1.48 \n" ); document.write( "x = -1.48/-.66 \n" ); document.write( "x = 2.24 gal of the 34% solution \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "4 - 2.24 = 1.76 gal of the pure antifreeze \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
