Algebra.Com's Answer #743183 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A + B = 70 therefore B = 70 - A \n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n" ); document.write( "0.59A + 0.94(70 - A) = 0.69(70) \n" ); document.write( "0.59A + 65.8 - 0.94A = 48.3 \n" ); document.write( "-0.35A = -17.5 divide, remember -/- = + \n" ); document.write( "A = 50 \n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n" ); document.write( "So, 50 cups of the 59% solution should be mixed with 70 - 50 = 20 cups of 94% solution to get 70 cups of a 69% solution \n" ); document.write( " |
