Algebra.Com's Answer #794421 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Johnny needs 10 liters of a 15% acid solution. He currently has a 10% solution and a 30% solution. How many liters of 10% solution does he need to make the needed 10 liters of 15% acid solution? \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "He currently has --- why not just \"he has\" ---- Currently is not needed. \n" ); document.write( "========================== \n" ); document.write( "x = amount of 10% to use \n" ); document.write( "y = amount of 30% \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10 ---- total solution \n" ); document.write( "10x + 30y = 10*15 ---- total acid \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for x & y\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
