Question 927214: A chemist needs 180 milliliters of a 39% solution but has only 15% and 69% solutions available. How many milliliters of each should be mixed to obtain the desired solution? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = ml of 15%
y = ml of 69%
---
15x + 69y = 39*180
x + y = 180
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
15x + 69y = 7020
x + y = 180
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
x = ml of 15% = 100
y = ml of 69% = 80
