how to mix a 10%solution and a 30% solution to get 1000ml of a 12% solution?

Let amount of milliliters of 10% solution to be added, be T
Then: .1T + .3(1,000 � T) = .12(1,000)
.1T + 300 - .3T = 120
.1T - .3T = 120 � 300
- .2T = - 180

T, or amount of 10% solution to be added = , or mL

Amount of 30% solution to be added = (1,000 � 900) mL
