x=3y-5
x+y=180
(3y-5)+y=180
4y=180+5
4y=185
y=185/4
y=46.25 degrees is the smaler angle.
x=3*46.25-5
x=138.75-5=133.75 degrees for the larger angle.
Proof:
46.25+133.75=180
180=180

.16x+.06(13-x)=.1064*13
.16x+.78-.06x=1.3832
.10x=1.3832-.78
.13x=.6032
x=.6032/.10
x=6.032 oz. of the 16% solution is used.
13-6.032=6.968 oz. of the 6% solution is used.
Proof:
.16*6,032+.06*6.968=.1064*13
.96512+.41808=1.3832
1.3832=1.3832

.80X+.15(600-X)=.40*600
.80X+90-.15X=240
.65X=240-90
.65X=150
X=150/.65
X=230.77 ml. of 80% mixture is used.
Proof:
,80*230.77+.15(600-230.77)=.4*600
184.62+.15(369.23)=240
184.62+55.38=240
