Question 928659: mix a solution that is 50% acid with a solution that is 100% water to make 4L of a solution that is 10% acid. How much of each solution should you use? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = liters of 50% acid = liters of 50% water
y = liters of pure water
z = liters of 10% acid = liters of 90% water = 4
---
x + y = 4
50x + 100y = 90(x + y)
50x + 100y = 90*4
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 4
50x + 100y = 360
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
x = liters of 50% acid = 0.8
y = liters of pure water = 3.2
